Changes In The Fatty Acid And Lipid Content Of Jatropha Curcas Induced By Fusarium Oxysporum And Macrophomina Phaseolina
This research was carried out to study the deteriorative changes in oilseeds under the influence of Fusarium oxysporum and Macrophomina phaseolina on Jatropha curcas seed . There was a significant reduction of 5.0% and 3.3% in lipids and the fungi caused significant increase (P=0.05) in %free fatty acids 3.0% and 6.0% respectively of Jatropha curcas seeds inoculated at room
