If seeds stored for 6 months in normal conditions, will oil content increase or decrease?
This is highly dependent on storage conditions. A higher humidity factor with good air circulation increase the potential storage times. As well the strain of seed is a factor, for example Costa Rican Jatropha seed has a very high (proven) oil content to begin with, as well storing them here in Costa Rica at our R & D Plantation we have found that our weather condition are conducive for longer storage times. But generally the Jatropha seeds are oily and do not store for long.
