TL;DR: In this article, a variety (JRC 9057) of high yielding and better quality fibre have been developed from the selection of the progenies of JRC 698 X CIJ 121 following pedigree method.
Abstract: Jute is one of the most affordable natural fibers and it is second only to cotton in amount produced and variety of uses of vegetable fibers. Jute fibres are eco-friendly, biodegradable and recyclable in nature and hence it create pollution free environment. In modern era of growing environmental friendly crops, the role of jute as ‘Green Crop’ may be highlighted and the significance of this commercial crop will be not only to produce fibre for industries as raw material but also the equivalent impact on balancing and conditioning the soil-air-environment. So the production of jute fibres assumes high socio-economic as well as environmental significance. Among the two species of jute (Corchorus olitorius L. and Corchorus capsularis L.) fibre made from C. capsularis is whiter and of a higher quality than that made from C. olitorius. The cultivation of white jute (C. capsularis L.) is very specific and native to India particularly to Eastern states. The white jute can be grown comparatively in low land situation and even under moisture stress and water logged situation. Keeping in mind, a variety (JRC 9057) of high yielding and better quality fibre have been developed from the selection of the progenies of JRC 698 X CIJ 121 following pedigree method. The selection has been made for quality textile fibre coupled with high yield. For this purpose, pedigree of CIJ 121 was selected for quality and JRC 698 was used to incorporate high yield. This variety is mainly suitable for low and medium land rainfed situation and areas where jute is cultivated followed by transplanted aman paddy.

TL;DR: The surface and sub-surface fungal flora of 12 varieties of jute were studied using 4 different techniques and Aspergillus was the dominant species followed by Penicillium, and endophytic fungi were identified.
Abstract: The surface and sub-surface fungal flora of 12 varieties of jute (C. olitorius and C. capsularis) were studied using 4 different techniques. The blotter method and seed inoculation in agar provided a complete picture of the seed coat fungi, while the surface sterilization technique gave information on endophytic fungi. A total of 57 ectophytes and 5 endophytes were isolated. A greater number of c.f.u. were recorded on C. olitorius than on C. capsularis. Of the seed coat fungi, Aspergillus was the dominant species followed by Penicillium. The endophytes recorded were Macrophomina phaseolina, Fusarium oxysporum, F. moniliforme [G. fujikuroi] and Sclerotium rolfsii [Corticium rolfsii].

TL;DR: In this article, a composition comprising a compound consisting of a Corchorus olitorius extract, a Ginko biloba leaf extract, and a chlorella extract is presented.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising a compound consisting of a Corchorus olitorius L. extract, a Ginko biloba L. leaf extract, and a chlorella extract. A pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is a composition comprising extracts of Corchorus olitorius L., Ginko biloba L. leaves, and chlorella; and has excellent anti-inflammatory properties and an effect of generating collagen. When used as a pharmaceutical medicine or a cosmetic composition, the composition has substantial properties such as anti-inflammatory properties, alleviating dermatitis, recovering a skin barrier function, and improving ability to retain moisture in the skin.

TL;DR: For improvement of the crop the genotypes from clusters V, IV and II may be considered to obtain high fibre yielding lines with characteristic features like earliness and plant with least number of nodes under rainfed condition.
Abstract: Jute fibre is obtained from the bark of the two commercially important species namely Corchorus capsularis L. and Corchorus olitorius L. 20 genotypes of white jute were sown in Randomized Block Design with three replications classified by Mahalanobis D 2 statistics under rainfed condition to identify desirable genotypes for use in breeding programme to develop drought tolerant hybrids. Maximum inter cluster distance was observed between cluster III and II while cluster III showed the maximum intra cluster distance. Green weight was found to be the maximum contributor (21.58%) towards divergence followed by dry stick weight (20%), top diameter (15.79%) and fibre yield (14.74%). Cluster V was found to be most important group for a number of characters like green weight, bark thickness, basal diameter as well as mid diameter, plant height and internode length. Therefore, for improvement of the crop the genotypes from clusters V, IV and II may be considered to obtain high fibre yielding lines with characteristic features like earliness and plant with least number of nodes under rainfed condition. Key words: Tossa jute, fibre, rainfed, divergence, olitorius.
