TL;DR: Chromocentre numbers in two species of Corchorus and their hybrid were more or less same, which were, however, found to reduce than the expected number of 14.
Abstract: Interphase nuclear structure and heterochromatin were studied in Corchorus olitorius, Corchorus capsularis and their F1 hybrid by HCl-Giemsa and BSG-technique. Nuclear structure was chromocentric in both the parents and the hybrid. Chromocentre numbers in two species of Corchorus and their hybrid were more or less same, which were, however, found to reduce than the expected number of 14. Heterochromatin values yielded by HCl-Giemsa technique were slightly higher than those yielded by BSG treatment. The percentage of heterochromatin in F1 was found to be closer to the male parent. DNA contents were also estimated in both the parents and their hybrid but the relationship between DNA contents and heterochromatin value was not clear.

TL;DR: Fruits of Corchorus olitorius L. were harvested at three different developmental stages on the basis of colour and seed germination and seedling emergence from soil varied with the fruit colour.

TL;DR: The plant Corchorus olitorius represents a potential source of natural 'lead' compounds with anti-tumour potential and docking of each of the two compounds and also of curcumin into some molecular targets implicated in tumourigenesis revealed that the three compounds had binding affinities that were superior to those obtained for the co-crystallized inhibitors of metalloproteinase-9, fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 and epidermal growth factor receptors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the I4C assimilates from the terminal source leaves were translocated to the apical bud and to other developing leaves at the top of the plant while the middle leaves supplied only the adjacent stem sections.
Abstract: Assimilate translocation from different source leaves and the partitioning of whole plant photosynthates at different growth stages of jute (Corchorus olitorius L.) was studied in the field using I4CO,. The I4C assimilates from the terminal source leaves were translocated to the apical bud and to other developing leaves at the top of the plant while the middle leaves supplied only the adjacent stem sections. The lower leaves exported to the basal internodes and the roots. Removal of all the leaves excepting the six terminal ones reduced but did not stop apical growth, but checked the growth in stem diameter completely. The results are discussed in relation to what is known of the general pattern of jute growth by the apical meristem and the cambium. The I4C assimilated by the whole plant was translocated to and accumulated in the parts according to their mode of development. The carbon assimilated at 40 days from sowing was distributed mainly to the leaves, but at 62 days it was distributed almost equally to the leaves, wood and bark. The carbon assimilated at 105 days accumulated to the greatest extent in the wood. Distribution of assimilate to the bark, which produces the yield of jute, was best during the early stages, increased to a maximum during the second month but declined again at the later stages.

TL;DR: In this paper, the drying behavior of Jew's mallow leaves using an oven dryer was studied and the influence of drying temperatures (50, 60 and 70°C) on moisture content of the leaves at stable air velocity was considered.
