TLDR
Results indicate that “thick stem” mutant is stable across generations with distinctive high seed and fibre yield and significantly low lignin content and the mutant is associated with low germination frequency, poor seed viability, and high pollen sterility, which may be eliminated through mutational approach followed by rigorous selection and efficient breeding.Abstract:
A “thick stem” mutant of Corchorus olitorius L. was induced at M2 (0.50%, 4 h, EMS) and the true breeding mutant is assessed across generations (M5 to M7) considering morphometric traits as well as SEM analysis of pollen grains and raw jute fibres, stem anatomy, cytogenetical attributes, and lignin content in relation to control. Furthermore, single fibre diameter and tensile strength are also analysed. The objective is to assess the stability of mutant for its effective exploration for raising a new plant type in tossa jute for commercial exploitation and efficient breeding. The mutant trait is monogenic recessive to normal. Results indicate that “thick stem” mutant is stable across generations () with distinctive high seed and fibre yield and significantly low lignin content. Stem anatomy of the mutant shows significant enhancement in fibre zone, number of fibre pyramids and fibre bundles per pyramid, and diameter of fibre cell in relation to control. Moreover, tensile strength of mutant fibre is significantly higher than control fibre and the trait is inversely related to fibre diameter. However the mutant is associated with low germination frequency, poor seed viability, and high pollen sterility, which may be eliminated through mutational approach followed by rigorous selection and efficient breeding.read more

How endogenous plant cell-wall degradation mechanisms can help achieve higher efficiency in saccharification of biomass
TL;DR: The manipulation of key enzyme levels in planta can help achieving biologically pre-treated walls (i.e. less recalcitrant) before plants are harvested for bioethanol production, which may be helpful in decreasing the costs associated with producing bioETHanol from biomass.

TL;DR: In this article, 20 tossa jute genotypes were investigated through field-based morphological study (RCBD) and laboratory oriented anatomical study (CRD) for yield and yield attributing morpho-anatomical variability at BJRI during March, 2019 to July, 2020.

TL;DR: Results suggested that doses of gamma irradiations monitored are sub-lethal in nature but can also potentially bring about cytogenetical variations in the seeds of treated plants (M1) causing mutation in subsequent generation.

TL;DR: In this article, the morphology of the technical fibres of the Malvaceae family (Abelmoschus esculentus) was investigated through optical and electron microscopy and their thermal behaviour through thermogravimetric analysis.

TL;DR: The data suggest that, given the safety and efficacy of NAC in humans, NAC may be useful in radiation therapy to prevent radiation-mediated genotoxicity, but does not interfere with efficient cancer cell killing.
