**6. Conclusion**

Utilization of biofuels has gained popularity as population is growing and need for the more diverse sources for fuel production. The plant-derived fuel still requires lot of efforts in terms of its modification to fit into the system of efficient utilization. The efficiency and usage can be increased by intensive study into the characteristic features of these plant-derived fuels with minimizing the threat to food security. The first aspect is to understand and evaluate the physiochemical nature taking petroleum based fuel as standard check. Other approach can be through understanding

the mechanism of fatty acid formation and identification of potent gene sources to increase the fatty acid profile. Thereby molecular dissection is another suggested approach as it is believed to be successful in many crops. The omics technologies can accelerate the process to dissect the genetic features for required traits. Hence, comprehensive approach is required to mitigate the problem of underutilization of biofuels. The barrier can be reduced by focusing on evaluation of all properties of the oil and its maximum efficiency.
