It is resistant to dry spell and pests, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to  research and development into making use of biofuels to power jet [airliners](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy).
