TL;DR: In this paper, the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities as well as total phenolic content of dried leaf extracts of Corchorus olitorius grown in North Cyprus were determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu, DPPH free radical and broth dilution methods, respectively.
Abstract: Objective: In this study, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities as well as total phenolic content of dried leaf extracts of Corchorus olitorius grown in North Cyprus were determined. Methods: The total phenolic content, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of the extracts were determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu, DPPH free radical and broth dilution methods, respectively. The antimicrobial activity of the extracts was tested against eight different microorganisms (Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6037, Listeria monocytogenes Scott A, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Staphylococcus aureus 6538P, Bacillus cereus No 8, Escherichia coli O157:H7 ATCC 43895, Escherichia coli ATCC 1103, Salmonella Typhimurium NRRL-B-4420). Results: The highest phenolic content was obtained from ethanol extract as 24.61 mg GAE/g. Water, ethanol and methanol extracts of C. olitorius were inhibited the DPPH radical by 17.50%, 87.10% and 86.00%, respectively. MIC values of ethanol and methanol extracts of C. olitorius against test cultures were varied between 50.00% and 6.25%, while no inhibitory effect was observed for water extract. The most susceptible microorganisms to methanol extract of the plant were L. monocytogenes Scott A, E. faecalis ATCC 29212 and B. subtilis ATCC 6037 (MIC value of 6.25%). Conclusion: All these results showed that C. olitorius extracts are important sources showing antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.

TL;DR: Correlation coefficients and path coefficient analysis of component characters towards seed yield/plant in tossa jute were worked out from F2and F3 generations following 7 x 7 half diallel set of hybrids.
Abstract: Correlation coefficients and path coefficient analysis of component characters towards seed yield/plant in tossa jute were worked out from F2and F3 generations following 7 x 7 half diallel set of hybrids. Capsules/plant, fresh plant weight and capsule diameter in F2 and capsule length, capsule diameter, seeds/capsule and seed weight in F3 played important role for high seed yield in tossa jute.

TL;DR: A complementary DNA library of white jute was constructed and expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were characterized, indicating that unigenes of C. capsularis have higher homology to Populus trichocarpa, Ricinus communis and Corchorus olitorius.
Abstract: White jute ( Corchorus capsularis L.) is recognized as an important industrial raw material fibre crop owing to its elite characters. However, little information is known about its molecular basis and genomics. In this study, a complementary DNA library of white jute was constructed and expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were characterized. The titers of original and amplified libraries were 2.32 × 10 7 and 1.07 × 10 9 pfu/mL, respectively. The recombinant frequency was 98.3% in the library. Most of the sequences ranged from 500 to 1500 bp with an average length of 750 bp. Results show 203 (73%) ESTs exhibited significant similarity with known or putative functional nucleotide sequences in the GenBank databases. Cluster analysis allowed the identification of 61 unique sequences. These genes were classified into six types by Gene Ontology (GO) annotation. The results also indicated that unigenes of C. capsularis have higher homology to Populus trichocarpa , Ricinus communis and Corchorus olitorius . This report will provide a valuable resource for the further investigations in the gene cloning, transcription or expression for white jute. Key words: White jute, Corchorus capsularis, cDNA library, construction, ESTs, analysis.
