TL;DR: The acute toxicity of the alcoholic extracts of seeds, roots stems and leaves of the fully mature Corchorus olitorius L. plant was determined in mice by intraperitoneal injection and the cardiac glycosides content was estimated and the correlation between the two investigated parameters was established.
Abstract: The acute toxicity of the alcoholic extracts of seeds, roots stems and leaves of the fully matureCorchorus olitorius L. plant was determined in mice by intraperitoneal injection. The cardiac glycosides content of each extract was estimated and the correlation between the two investigated parameters was established. The chronic toxicity of the alcoholic extract of the seeds was determined in term of its haematological and symptomatical effects on mice upon intraperitoneal injection for a period of two months.

TL;DR: Cytological studies in desynaptic plants, isolated at the F6 generation of an intervarietal cross of Corchorus olitorius L., have shown variable numbers of bivalents and univalents in the PMC's at metaphase I, resulting in irregular distribution of chromosomes at anaphase I.
Abstract: Cytological studies in desynaptic plants, isolated at the F6 generation of an intervarietal cross of Corchorus olitorius L., have shown variable numbers of bivalents and univalents in the PMC's at metaphase I, resulting in irregular distribution of chromosomes at anaphase I. The progenies of the desynaptic plants consisted of 9.24 percent of all possible primary trisomies except trisomie 6. The desynaptic condition is controlled by a pair of simple recessive genes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the average daily growth rates of four varieties of jute (C. olitorius) were found from weekly observations of crop height in the field, and were analyzed in relation to relevant environmental data from a nearby crop-weather station.

TL;DR: Using a semi-wild species of C, capsularis, namely, Lalnaris as male parent instead of the cultivar D154, much F1 hybrids were obtained whereas in the earlier cross application of hormone as well as embryo culture were necessary to obtain F2 hybrids.
Abstract: Hybridization between Corchorus olitorius L. and C. capsularis L. was repeated by changing the variety of one of the parents. Using a semi-wild species of C, capsularis, namely, Lalnaris as male parent instead of the cultivar D154, much F1 hybrids were obtained whereas in the earlier cross application of hormone as well as embryo culture were necessary to obtain F1 hybrids. When Lalnaris was used there was no necessity to use either hormone or embryo culture to obtain fruit set. The F1s obtained in the present investination showed heterosis in respect of height and there was iess varia-bility in the F2' They also showed more pollen and seed fertility than the F2S reported earlier.
