“…Grown in tropical lowland areas, it produces one of the strongest vegetable fibres and is only next to cotton in terms of production [1] . Though it is ideally suited for transplanted paddy-based crop rotation and makes softer and stronger fibre than its other cultivated counterpart C. capsularis (white jute), there are several biological constraints that limit its diversified uses in textile industry [2] . Besides yield enhancement, there is an urgent need to develop dark jute varieties with quality fibre in terms of fibre fineness and tensile strength including low-lignin content using genomics-assisted breeding approaches.…”

Here, we present the draft genome (377.3 Mbp) of Corchorus olitorious cv. JRO-524 (Navin), which is a leading dark jute variety developed from a cross between African (cv. Sudan Green) and indigenous (cv. JRO-632) types. We predicted from the draft genome a total of 57,087 protein-coding genes with annotated functions. We identified a large number of 1765 disease resistance-like and defense response genes in the jute genome. The annotated genes showed the highest sequence similarities with that of Theobroma cacao followed by Gossypium raimondii. Seven chromosome-scale genetically anchored pseudomolecules were constructed with a total size of 8.53 Mbp and used for synteny analyses with the cocoa and cotton genomes. Like other plant species, gypsy and copia retrotransposons were the most abundant classes of repeat elements in jute. The raw data of our study are available in SRA database of NCBI with accession number SRX1506532. The genome sequence has been deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession LLWS00000000, and the version described in this paper will be the first version (LLWS01000000).
