TL;DR: Inoculation with RNMV resulted in increased plant height, leaf size, stem diameter, and number and size of fiber bundles in Corchorus olitorius L., C. capsularis L., Hibiscus sabdariffa L. and H. cannabinus L.
Abstract: Ludwigia perennis L. infected with rice necrosis mosaic virus (RNMV) showed an increase in both shoot growth and leaf size, along with characteristic chlorotic lesions on leaves. The promotion of growth over the controls extended over a considerable period of time (70 d). Inoculation with RNMV resulted in increased plant height, leaf size, stem diameter, and number and size of fiber bundles in Corchorus olitorius L., C. capsularis L., Hibiscus sabdariffa L. and H. cannabinus L.

TL;DR: Irrespective of the planting designs, at the minimum distance from the pollen source outcrossing was found to be at its maximum which, however, decreased with the distance, while Directions had no influence on cross pollination in this species.
Abstract: To find out an effective isolation distance in olitorius jute experiments were conducted for three years in two planting designs; in one the cultivar with the dominant marker allele was planted at the centre and the cultivarcarrying the recessive marker allele was planted around and in the other the planting arrangement was just the reverse of the former. A total of nearly 20 lac seedlings were counted. Irrespective of the planting designs, at the minimum distance from the pollen source outcrossing was found to be at its maximum which, however, decreased with the distance. Directions had no influence on cross pollination in this species. At a distance beyond 9.0 metres outcrossing was found to be absent.

TL;DR: Germination was increasingly inhibited at concentrations above 5 and 20 mM and stopped altogether at 80 and 50 mM NaF in rice and jute respectively, whereas the inhibition of seedling growth began at much lower concentrations.
Abstract: Germination was increasingly inhibited at concentrations above 5 and 20 mM and stopped altogether at 80 and 50 mM NaF in rice and jute respectively, whereas the inhibition of seedling growth began at much lower concentrations. Of the enzymes, RNase activity was increased by fluoride, while α-amylase, protease, phytase and ATPase activities exhibited distinct inhibition from the control.

TL;DR: Finely ground Corchorus olitorius seed was administered as a daily drench and as a single drench to 2 pigs and the latter 2 died within 48 hours, and the former was killed on the 7th day as it approached a moribund state.
Abstract: Finely ground Corchorus olitorius seed was administered as a daily drench to 1 pig at 100mg/kg body weight and as a single drench to 2 pigs at 500 mg/kg body weight. The latter 2 died within 48 hours, and the former was killed on the 7th day as it approached a moribund state. Clinical signs observed were anorexia, vomiting and dysentery. Autopsy revealed severe haemorrhagic enteritis. The seed was also fed to pigs at levels of 0.05%, 0.1% and 0.5% by weight of the ration for 4 weeks. Levels of 0.05% of greater caused reductions in voluntary feed intake and weight gain.
