TL;DR: The overall view of the jute fiber cell transcriptome is presented, which helps for understanding the molecular basis of fiber formation in jute plant.
Abstract: The demand for products made by jute fiber is increasing day-by-day for its biodegradable nature regarding environmental concerns. To gain this opportunity correctly, the development of high yielding and improved fiber quality jute variety is essential for ensuring diversified use of jute fiber. The major developed jute varieties, so far, are the outcome of conventional breeding which is a very time consuming process. Improvement of fiber quality and yield through genetic modification approach is highly desired. However, very little is known about the molecular mechanism behind fiber cell formation in jute. Here, we attempted to do the whole transcriptome sequencing of fiber cell RNA to reveal the molecular mechanisms were happening in the premises of jute fiber cells. We performed RNA isolation from jute fiber cells followed by whole transcriptome sequencing. De novo assembly of sequencing reads resulted in 21,294 contigs representing the transcriptome size of 4.07 Mbp. Gene ontology analysis assigned 14144 genes (52.21%) for biological process, 8399 genes (31%) involved in molecular function and 4549 genes (16.79%) for cellular component. Total 66 fiber related genes were found from reference based annotation where 9 genes involved in fiber cell initiation and elongation and the rest 57 for secondary cell wall development. We presented the overall view of the jute fiber cell transcriptome in this study. These findings help for understanding the molecular basis of fiber formation in jute plant.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the yield of C. olitorius in response to cattle manure (5 000 kg ha−1) and NPK inorganic fertiliser (500 kg h−1).
Abstract: The consumption of semi-domesticated indigenous vegetables such as Corchorus olitorius is being promoted in South Africa. Presently, cultivation of indigenous vegetables is hampered by the absence of cultivation guidelines due to lack of agronomic research on the various production aspects. The current study evaluated the yield of C. olitorius in response to cattle manure (5 000 kg ha−1) and NPK inorganic fertiliser (500 kg ha−1). Plant height, number of branches, marketable fresh yield and shoot dry mass responded significantly (p<0.05) to the applied fertilisers. Growing Corchorus without basal fertiliser gave significantly the lowest yield even when top-dressing nitrogen fertiliser was applied. There were significant interactions between the different basal and nitrogen top-dressing fertiliser. It was concluded that the application of basal soil amendments and the interaction of basal and top-dressing resulted in increased marketable yield for C. olitorius. The highest marketable yield for both cattle ...

TL;DR: The decoction of Corchorus olitorius leaves is used by ivorian traditional healers for the treatment of inflammation and the activity of each treatment was the percentage of increase in leg circumference (% AUG).
Abstract: The decoction of Corchorus olitorius leaves is used by ivorian traditional healers for the treatment of inflammation. Regarding the decoction used, this study was carried out to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of the acqueous extracts from C. olitorius leaves. These extracts were tested according to the model of acute edema of rat paw induced by carrageenan 1%. The doses of drug orally administered to the animals were as follow: 1470, 2450, 7350 mg / kg. The results obtained with the aqueous extracts of C. olitorius leaves were firstly compared with those of physiological control (NaCl 0.9%) and secondly with those of the reference anti-inflammatory (diclofenac sodium 25 mg / kg). The different comparisons were set up at 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after the injection of carrageenan to the rats. The parameter considered to appreciate the activity of each treatment was the percentage of increase in leg circumference (% AUG). The results exhibited significant difference (p
