Jatropha curcas L. (family Euphobiaceae) is widely distributed in the tropics as a potential biofuel crop. Two DNA marker techniques, AFLP and ISSR, were used to assess the genetic diversity of J. curcas germplasm collected throughout Thailand, introduced accessions from six countries and other four...
