In: Egyptian Journal of Genetics and Cytology 2018.v.47(2)Summary: Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) is a long-lived dioecious evergreen shrub of arid zones with a life span of around 100 years; which has been vegetated as a cash crop. It is a native of Son-oran deserts of the South-Western United States of America, North-western Mexico and Baja California (Gentry, 1958; Benzioni, 1992). As a dioecious plant species, jojoba is obligatory outcrossing and consequently displays high genetic variability (Parker, 1990). The outbreed-ing of jojoba has given rise to highly het-erogeneous seeds that supply us with a vast range of hybrid vigor and fertility. Egypt produced 25 tons of jojoba oil resulted from 500 feddens. One square meter cultivated with jojoba giving cash return of 3 to 4€ in comparison with cot-ton which gained 0.75€. Consumption of mineral oil in Egypt recorded 400,000 tones/year, therefore, jojoba introduce a strategy solving these increments. Mean-while, one hectare cultivated with jojoba yield an average of 1.64 tons of fruits in the Arabian countries, 4.56 tons in the European countries and 5.19 tons in the USA (FAOstat, 2013). The least price of jojoba oil (10,000$ /tones) that could be obtained from 3 or 4 feddens. Therefore, the successful improvement of jojoba industry depends on selection of high yielding genotypes, their multiplication through vegetative means and boosting yields by increasing fruit-bearing plants per unit area.
