TLDR
In this paper, 138 jute genotypes of C. olitorius were characterized with ten jute specific SSR markers and a total of 23 alleles were amplified with an average of 2.3 alleles per locus and the PIC value ranged from 0.13 to 0.76.
Abstract
Tossa jute (Corchorus olitorius L.) is an important lingo-cellulosic bast fibre-crop. It provides biodegradable and environment friendly fibre next to cotton, in terms of usage, global consumption, production, and availability. Narrow genetic diversity of the crop is the major hurdle, which is a demand at priority for any crop improvement programme. In the current investigation 138 jute genotypes of C. olitorius were characterized with ten jute specific SSR markers. A total of 23 alleles were amplified with an average of 2.3 alleles per locus and the PIC value ranged from 0.13 to 0.76 with an average of 0.455. The un-weighted pair-group method with arithmetic average cluster analysis of the 138 jute genotypes depicted a dendrogram using DARWIN, which divided the genetic resource into three major clusters. The study indicated the utility of SSR primers for providing useful and high levels of polymorphism for individual plant genotypes even with a narrow genetic base. Based on cluster analysis the most divergent genotypes identified were OIJ 167 (from Indonesia), OIM 058 and OIM 059 (India), however based on the agronomic traits as maximum plant height, basal diameter and fibre weight they were OIJ 245, OIJ (153 and 161) and OIJ 040, respectively.

Transcriptome Analysis of Two Species of Jute in Response to Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)- induced Drought Stress

TL;DR: A comprehensive study on drought tolerance in two jute species—a drought tolerant species (corchorus olitorius L., GF) and a drought sensitive species (Corchorus capsularis L., YY), which identified 34 TF DEGs from and 23 PK DEGs, including 19 receptor-like kinases (RLKs).

Development of an InDel polymorphism database for jute via comparative transcriptome analysis

TL;DR: Jute (Corchorus spp.) is one of the most commercially important bast fiber crops in the world, but molecular markers and high-density genetic maps are still lacking on jute compared with other crops, using three transcriptome datasets to identify and develop InDel markers.

Jute Genomics : Emerging Resources and Tools for Molecular Breeding

TL;DR: The present status of jute genomics is discussed, with a historical perspective on DNA markers development and utilization, and the potentials of genomic selection to accelerate the rate of genetic gain in selection for bast fibre quality traits and mutagenesis-based reverse genetic approach for developing low-lignin jute are discussed.

Optimizing parental selection for genetic linkage maps

TL;DR: The objectives of this research were to calculate polymorphism information content values of 51 low-copy DNA clones and use the resulting values to choose potential mapping parents and to identify Genotype pairs that would map more highly informative DNA clones compared with a population derived from the most polymorphic potential parents.

Polymorphism revealed by simple sequence repeats

TL;DR: Simple sequence repeats are a group of repetitive DNA sequences that represent a significant portion of higher eukaryote genomes and can serve as highly informative genetic markers, and in conjunction with the use of polymerase chain reaction technology enable the detection of length variation.

Transferable EST-SSR markers for the study of polymorphism and genetic diversity in bread wheat.

TL;DR: It is suggested that EST-SSRs can be successfully used for a variety of purposes, and may actually prove superior to SSR markers extracted from genomic libraries for diversity estimation and transferability.
