Progress in molecular biology of Jatropha curcas

摘要:

麻疯树Jatropha curcas L.作为一种新兴的生物柴油型能源树种已经得到广泛的认可，关于它的各项研究持续升温。文中综述了近年来国内外关于麻疯树分子生物学方面的研究进展，一是揭示麻疯树遗传多样性和系统分类的分子标记研究；二是全面解析麻疯树分子网络的基因组、转录组和蛋白质组研究；三是以培育优质高抗品系为目标的代谢和发育调控相关基因的分离、克隆和功能研究；最后讨论了目前研究的不足和麻疯树未来分子生物学研究的方向。

Abstract:

Jatropha curcas L., has been widely recognized as a potential source of biodiesel. In this review, we presented several aspects about the recent progress in molecular biology of J. curcas. First, molecular markers were used to assess its genetic diversity. Second, large-scale genome, transcriptome and proteome analyses were applied for decoding its molecular network. Third, functional characterization of key genes involved in metabolism and regulation of plant development was performed to breed lines with higher quality or higher resistance. Finally, we discussed the limitation of current progress and then proposed the future molecular biology research on J. curcas.
