Resumen

Jatropha curcas L. is a potential biomass source for biofuel production. This study evaluated the phenotypic variation of ten J. curcas accessions —seven from Mexico (Chiapas and Yucatan) and three from Honduras— based on four agronomic traits and 15 morphological characters of plants, fruits and seeds, in Yucatan, Mexico, for future crop improvement. The most significant variation among accessions was explained by morphological plant characters (37%), followed by yield and seed proportions (22%). Two Yucatan accessions had the lowest plant proportions and the highest agronomic yield, while two Chiapas accessions exhibed both high plant proportions and agronomic yield. In contrast, all Honduras accessions had both low plant proportions and agronomic yield. Dissimilarity analysis grouped the accessions based on their geographical ori­gin, agronomic yield, and proportions of plants, fruits, and seeds. The agromorphological cha­racterization of J. curcas enabled the identification of accessions with desirable traits for parent selection in breeding programs.
