TL;DR: Two experiments were conducted on two varieties of Corchorus olitorius on the effect of density of planting on their growth and development whilst the second was on the best planting ratio for Cor chorus-tomato intercropping.
Abstract: Two experiments were conducted on two varieties of Corchorus olitorius(‘NHCo 6’ and ‘NHCo 7’). The first one was on the effect of density of planting on their growth and development whilst the second was on the best planting ratio for Corchorus-tomato intercropping.There was no significant difference in morphological characters of the two varieties. The maximum value of leaf area index for the two varieties was around 3. Maximum marketable and edible yields were obtained for the two varieties at 30 × 5 cm (666600 plants/ha) and the best time for harvesting was 44 days after sowing.The best planting ratio for Corchorus-tomato intercrop was 2 rows of Corchorus and 1 row of tomato for maximum edible yield of Corchorus but for maximum economic returns, the best ratio was 1 row of Corchorus to 2 rows of tomato.

TL;DR: In this paper, the protein solubility of deoiled jute (Corchorus olitorius, Linn.) seed in aqueous solution over various pHs and in different concentrations of NaCl at pH 8.0 was investigated.
Abstract: Studies were made on the protein solubility of deoiled jute (Corchorus olitorius, Linn.) seed in aqueous solution over various pHs and in different concentrations of NaCl at pH 8.0. Chemical analysis of the seed protein showed 16 amino acids, of which 9 were essential. Gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 revealed the presence of four components, and their molecular weights were determined by two standard methods. Extractable jute seed proteins in salt solution were separated into six fractions electrophoretically (SDS-PAGE). The molecular weights of the six fractions were found to be 118,000; 103,000; 96,000; 67,500; 48,500; and 15,000.
