TL;DR: Recovery of most growth variables occurred in both treatments, with a stimulation of leaf weight, area and number in Celosia because the milder drying cycle induced axillary leaf development.

TL;DR: Activities of photosynthetic and photorespiratory enzymes from jute leaves were compared with those from maize and sunflower leaves and show that jute is a C3 plant.
Abstract: Activities of photosynthetic and photorespiratory enzymes viz., ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase, phosphoenol pyruvate carboxylase and glycolate oxidase from jute (Corchorus olitorius L.; cv. JRO 632) leaves were compared with those from maize (C4) and sunflower (C3) leaves. The photosynthetic C02 fixation products, the release of 14C02 in light and dark following photosynthesis in l4C02, chlorophyll a : b ratio, gross leaf photosynthetic rate and dry matter production rate were also studied. The results show that jute is a C3 plant.

TL;DR: Following outbreaks of jute seed poisoning in pigs in northern Queensland it was discovered that quantities of the contaminated sorghum grain involved had been used for the preparation of poultry rations.
Abstract: Following outbreaks of jute seed poisoning in pigs in northern Queensland (Johnson and Toleman 1982) it was discovered that quantities of the contaminated sorghum grain involved had been used for the preparation of poultry rations. As there was circumstantial evidence of poisoning of young chickens from one large poultry unit in the area, experiments were undertaken to assess the effect of different concentrations of jute seed in diets on the mortality and growth rate of young chckens.
