In a greenhouse experiment we applied three levels of drought stress and monitored growth variables and biomass production of Jatropha curcas seedlings propagated from three seed accessions. We determined biomass allocation, allometric relationships and plant traits. Well-watered J. curcas seedlings grew 0.81 � 0.15 cm day � 1 in length and produced 1.49 � 0.31 g dry biomass day � 1 . Under medium stress (40% plant available water) the plants
