The present invention relates to the field of modifying Jatropha branching, flowering time, fruiting and seed setting. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for control and optimization of Jatropha curcas flowering time, fruiting and seed production by manipulating one gene from Jatropha. The present invention can be used in various Jatropha breeding efforts. L'invention concerne le domaine de la modification de la ramification, du temps de floraison, de la production de fruits et de la grenaison de Jatropha. L'invention concerne plus spécifiquement un procédé de régulation et d'optimisation du temps de floraison, de la production de fruits et de la production de graines de Jatropha curcas par manipulation d'un gène provenant de Jatropha. L'invention peut être utilisée dans des tentatives variées pour cultiver Jatropha.
