A Lady of Dubious Character “Slightly Hot Blooded” Mamona (Portuguese) A Lady of Dubious Character And the Castor Plant “A Little Dangerous” “Slightly Hot Blooded” “Very Promiscuous”

Mamona - Castor “A Little Dangerous” Ricin Toxin “Slightly Hot Blooded” World Wide in the Tropics “Very Promiscuous” Pollinates Over Five Miles

Tracking pollen flow in Mississippi USA 99.8% of all pollen limited to 6-6.5m

Castor Improvement for Biodiesel & Industrial Oil for All America * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Castor - (Ricinus communis L.) Seed Yield: 1000 to 3,360 kg/ha Oil Content: 45 to 60% (500 to 1,800 l/ha) Fatty Acids: 85% ricinoleic acid Disadvantages: Ricin & Allergens Advantages: Highest Oil Yields of Any Temperately Adapted Oilseed Crop Plant

Future Castor Research Reduced Ricin Toxin Improved Water Use Genetic Yield Enhancement

Conventional Genetics to Reduce Ricin Levels in Castor 2003 - Release TTU LRC Germplasm Crop Sci 43 : 746-747 2009 - Release of ‘Brigham’ Castor Hale = 4,210 ug/ml (38% Total Proteins) Brigham = 416 ug/ml (4% Total Proteins) 2012 – Future Castor Varieties McKeon = 40 ug/ml (0.4% Total Proteins)
