Studies on the Seed Traits of Jatropha curcas Collected from Shuangbo County,Yunnan Province

The indexes of Jatropha curcas seeds collected from Shuangbo County,Yunnan Province were measured including 1 000-seed weight,kernel weight of seed,1 000-kernel weight,kernel oil content,moisture content,natural vermiculated rate,germination rate and germination energy of the seeds treated by different storage methods and different storage temperatures.The results showed that the 1 000-seed weight was 556.25 g,kernel weight of seed was 75.09%,1 000-kernel weight was 382.53 g,kernel oil content was 55.90%,seed moisture content was 5.98%,and the natural vermiculated rate was 24.91%.The study showed that the seed germination rate and germination energy indexes were not significantly influenced by different storage treatments and different storage temperatures.
