  1. Note: Seed derived jatropha populations: Tanzania, Africa (AF), Indonesia (MD), Yunnan Province, China (CN), Tamil Nadu, India (TN), Suriname, South America (SU); agronomic traits: 1yY, one year seed yield; 2yY: two year seed yield; H: plant height after two years; DiC, diameter of canopy after two years; NFB: number of flowering branches; NPB: number of primary branches; Dormancy: percentage of plants going into dormancy during drought period; Oil: seed oil content: DtF:days from sowing to first flowering; A, B, C: ranking by Tukey analysis with significance of 0.01.
