英文摘要	Citrulus colocynthis (wild gourd) is a desert plant of the Cucurbitaceae, naturally adapted to arid environments. It was known in biblical times as a source of seed oil and its fruits were used as an efficient laxative. Accessions were collected in Israel and evaluated as a potential oil seed crop adapted to arid zones. It was found that its oil composition is similar to safflower oil, with a total of 80-85% unsaturated fatty acids. A potential yield of oil of 250-400 1 ha(-1) was calculated. The best yield was obtained during I:he first 4 weeks of the 10-week maturation period. Yield potential should be estimated under desert conditions in order to evaluate the plant’s economic future as a crop suitable for an arid environment. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
