TL;DR: Induced mutant characters of jute (Corchorus olitorius L.) such as, chlorina, virescent, yellow, patchy albino leaf colour; waxy leaf surface; ribbon, cordate, trifid leaf forms; distant and extreme leaf serration; dwarf, stiff, lazy stem, drooping top, bushy stem, white stem; foliaceous stipule; white flower and round pod, were all monogenic recessive in nature.
Abstract: Induced mutant characters of jute (Corchorus olitorius L.) such as, chlorina, virescent, yellow, patchy albino leaf colour; waxy leaf surface; ribbon, cordate, trifid leaf forms; distant and extreme leaf serration; dwarf, stiff, lazy stem, drooping top, bushy stem, white stem; foliaceous stipule; white flower and round pod, were all monogenic recessive in nature. The F2 generation of their crosses with the genotypes having wild type characters segregated into 3:1 ratio for each mutant characters. Gene symbols for these characters are proposed. No linkage could be detected amongst these mutants.

TL;DR: Differences in plant response to intraspecific competition were due to growth habit and physiology and have practical implications on population regulation and relative competitive ability of these two weeds in cropping situations.
Abstract: Chromolaena odorata and Corchorus olitoriuswere grown at 5, 10, 15 and 20 plants/pot to evaluate the response of individual plants to intraspecific competition after 10 weeks. Both species showed considerable plasticity in plant height, root dry matter production and biomass partitioning but competitive effects were significant in respect of leaf production, leaf area and photosynthetic efficiency (as indicated by LAR). Competitive effects were also significant with resport to shoot and total dry weights and individual plant weight (weight per plant) in C. Olitorius. The reduction in leaf area was greater with increasing plant density in C. odorata while C. olitorius showed greater reductions in leaf production and LAR. Weight per plant was reduced significantly by 0.56 g for each, unit increase in plant density for both species. Differences in plant response to intraspecific competition were due to growth habit and physiology. These differences have practical implications on population regulation and relative competitive ability of these two weeds in cropping situations.

TL;DR: It was observed that the balance in the concentration of auxin-cytokinin (in initial culture) as well as ploidy level in the cells is most important-factors in controlling differentiation.
Abstract: The present paper deals with the induction and regeneration of callus tissue from in vitro system of jute (Corchrous olitorius L. Var JRO-632). Hypocotyl of in vitro germinated seedlings was taken as explants. Hypocotyl explants were cultured in both Murashige and Skoog’s (1962)(MS) and Schenk and Hildebrand’s (1972)(SH) basal media supplemented with different growth regulators in definite concentrations. Callus growth was found better in MS basal medium than SH medium. For morphogenetic study the hypocotyl callus tissues were grown in medium containing different combinations and concentrations of auxins (IAA, NAA, IBA and 2,4-D used separately @ 0.20 mg/L) and cytokinins (BAP and Kinetin used separately 0.15mg/K to 3.2 mg/L, coconut milk 10-35% volume/volume). A simplified method for morphogenesis of calli was standardized. Cytological studies of the regenerated roots from calli as well as from regenerated plants revealed diploid chromosome number while the calli were mixoploid in nature. It was observed that the balance in the concentration of auxin-cytokinin (in initial culture) as well as ploidy level in the cells is most important-factors in controlling differentiation.
