TL;DR: Results indicate a higher level of polymorphism in C. olitorius relative to that in Corchorus capsularis, and the occurrence of such a large number of polymorphic AFLP markers will facilitate preparation of molecular maps and QTL analysis in jute.
Abstract: Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was conducted to investigate the level of polymorphism in four jute genotypes including two genotypes (JRC 321 and CMU 010) of Corchorus capsularis (the white jute) and two genotypes (JRO 524 and PPO4) of Corchorus olitorius (the tossa jute). Out of 1024 primer combinations that were tried, as many as 281 combinations of selective primers (13 EcoRI and 64 MseI) were selected, which produced a total of 9092 amplicons, including 752 (8.3%) polymorphic bands in C. capsularis and a total of 8856 amplicons including 1477 (16.7%) polymorphic bands in C. olitorius. The average number of bands/primer combination was 32.3 for C. capsularis and 31.5 for C. olitorius. For C. capsularis, highest polymorphism of 56.6% was shown by primer combination E35M50, while for C. olitorius highest polymorphism of 50% was shown by E41M91. In C. olitorius, 30–50% polymorphism was observed with 27 primer combinations, but in C. capsularis only 3 primer combinations gave this level of polymorphism. Similarly, in C. capsularis <10% polymorphism was detected by 115 primer combinations while in C. olitorius, <10% polymorphism was shown by only 56 primer combinations. These results indicate a higher level of polymorphism in C. olitorius relative to that in C. capsularis. The occurrence of such a large number of polymorphic AFLP markers will facilitate preparation of molecular maps and QTL analysis in jute.

TL;DR: The genetic diversity and population structure of 453 accessions in Corchorus olitorius L., including cultivars, landraces, genetic materials and wild germplasm, were analyzed using 39 SSR markers and provided clues about the origin of C. Olitorius.
Abstract: Jute (Corchorus spp.) is the second most important global natural fiber crop after cotton. Analyses of the genetic diversity and population structure of the germplasm are useful for improving Corch...

TL;DR: Human health risk assessment using Hazard Quotients showed that only As had the potential to increase above non-acceptable levels and cause non-cancerous health risks during a life-time consumption of Hibiscus sabdariffa vegetable while Corchorus olitorius is relatively safe and can be a beneficial source of essential elements.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of pre-chilling and temperature on the germination of seeds of a crop with a potential for development as a crop was investigated, using tetrazolium technique.
Abstract: L, has a potential for development as a crop. Self propagation of this species is by seed. In an attempt to improve the length of time of its availability, the effects of pre-chilling and temperature on germination of its seeds were investigated. Although it had a seed viability of 90.1% (using the tetrazolium technique), seed subjected to a temperature of 25

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of composted kitchen waste (KW) and poultry manure (PM) soil amendments on growth, yield and heavy metal uptake in edible leaf of Corchorus olitorius were compared.
Abstract: This study was carried out to compare the effects of composted kitchen waste (KW) and poultry manure (PM) soil amendments on growth, yield and heavy metal uptake in edible leaf of Corchorus olitorius. Kitchen waste and PM composted for 8 weeks were applied as soil amendment at the rate of 0 (no amendment), 5, 10 and 15 t ha−1. Corchorus seeds were sown 2 weeks after incorporation of amendment. Compost amendments were the main treatments while application rates were in sub-plots. Treatments were replicated three times in a randomized complete block design. Corchorus were harvested 6 weeks after sowing, following which growth and yield parameters were measured. Concentrations of manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) in leaf tissue and plant uptake were also determined. Result showed that PM increased Corchorus leaf production than KW. Poultry manure significantly (p ≤ 0.01) increased Cu accumulation in leaf. Bioaccumulation of Cu was 0.005 and 0.011 mg kg−1 for KW and PM, respectively. The metals except Zn in leaf tissue showed significant (p ≤ 0.01) correlation with both fresh and dry weights of Corchorus. Despite high concentration of heavy metals in the compost, bioaccumulation in leaf was lower than maximum allowable limit of 0.1 mg kg−1 for Cu and 0.3 mg kg−1 for Mn, Fe and Zn in vegetables by WHO/FAO/FEPA. Soil amended with composted KW and PM promoted Corchorus growth and yield. Accumulations of heavy metals in leaf tissue are within allowable limit for vegetables.
