Genetic structure from the oldest Jatropha germplasm bank of Brazil and contribution for the genetic improvement.

the objective of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity and the population structure of jatropha accessions found in the oldest germplasm collection in Brazil using molecular markers. A combination of SSRs and ISSRs will be used in this study. The genetic information obtained is of great importance to support future genetic improvement programs of jatropha in Brazil
