Title:	Method for cellular tissue multiplication from Jatropha curcas
Abstract:	The method of the present invention comprises: Obtaining an explant from the seeds of Jatropha curcas; Putting the explant derived from the seed of Jatropha curcas in a culture medium; Breaking the intercellular unions of the explants tissue, which generates individuals cells; Incubating for a determined time the culture medium with the generated individual cells, that were multiplied; and, Extracting oil from the cells that multiplied from the individual cells generated from the explants derived from the Jatropha curcas seed.

Application Number:	12/688,905
Patent Claims:	1. A method for production of oil derived from a seed wherein the method comprises: A. Obtaining an explant from the seed; B. Putting the explant derived from the seed in a culture medium; C. Breaking the intercellular unions of the explants tissue derived from the seed in said culture medium, wherein the explants generate individual cells; D. Incubating for a determined time the culture medium with the individual cells generated from the explants derived from the seed, wherein said individual cells are multiplied within the determined time; and, E. Extracting oil from the cells that multiplied from the individual cells generated from the explants derived from the seed. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the seed is an oleaginous plant seed. 3. A method for production of oil derived from a Jatropha curcas seed wherein the method comprises: A. Obtaining an explant from the Jatropha curcas seed; B. Putting the explant derived from the Jatropha curcas seed in a culture medium; C. Breaking the intercellular unions of the explants tissue derived from the Jatropha curcas seed in said culture medium, wherein the explants generate individual cells; D. Incubating for a determined time the culture medium with the individual cells generated from the explants derived from the Jatropha curcas seed, wherein said individual cells are multiplied within the determined time; and, E. Extracting oil from the cells that multiplied from the individual cells generated from the explants derived from the Jatropha curcas seed. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the explant is obtained from the Jatropha curcas seed by a procedure that comprises: A. Disinfecting the Jatropha curcas seed with ethanol, wherein said seed is bathed with ethanol; B. Hydrating said disinfected Jatropha curcas seed with a paper wet with sterile water, wherein the paper wet with sterile water is wrapped around the Jatropha curcas seed; C. Sterilizing the hydrated Jatropha curcas seed with sodium hypochlorite, wherein said hydrated Jatropha curcas seed is bathed with sodium hypochlorite; D. Retiring the skin of the sterilized Jatropha curcas seed, wherein as a result the seed cotyledon is released from the Jatropha curcas seed; and, E. Obtaining explants from the Jatropha curcas seed cotyledon. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the culture medium contains at least NH.sub.4NO.sub.3, CaNO.sub.3, CuSO.sub.4, MnSO.sub.4, ZnSO.sub.4, H.sub.3BO.sub.3, KH.sub.2PO.sub.4, Na.sub.2MoO.sub.4, EDTA, FeSO.sub.4, CaCl.sub.2, CaCO.sub.3, NaC.sub.6H.sub.7O.sub.7 (sodium citrate), MgSO.sub.4, K.sub.2SO.sub.4, thiamine, glycine, inositol, nicotinic acid, pyridoxine, biotin, glutamine, naftalenacetic acid, zeatin, and a carbon source. 6. The method of claim 3, wherein cellulase, pectinase and hemicellulase are added to the culture medium, wherein the cellulase, pectinase and hemicellulase break the intercellular unions of the explants tissue derived from the Jatropha curcas seed in said culture medium. 7. The method of claim 5, where the culture medium contains a salt selected from the group that consists of KNO.sub.3 and KCL. 8. The method of claim 5, wherein the culture medium contains a hormone selected from the group that consists of indolacetic acid (IAA) and indolebutyric acid (IBA). 9. The method of claim 5, wherein the culture medium contains a hormone selected from the group that consists of kinetine, benziladenine (BA), and Gibberelline (GA). 10. The method of claim 5, wherein the culture medium contains a carbon source selected from the group that consists of saccharose (sucrose), fructose, and glucose. 11. The method of claim 3, wherein the oil is extracted from the culture medium with the individual cells that where multiplied from the individual cells generated from the explants derived from the Jatropha curcas seed by means of a procedure that comprises: A. Adding an organic solvent; B. Sonication; C. Centrifugation; D. Extraction of the superior face; and, E. Evaporation and drying of the solvent.
