“…Jute fibre has wide applications in making ropes, sacks, bags, carpets, shoes, geo-textiles, jewellery, and home decorations. Tender jute leaves, which are rich in antioxidants, are also used as a leafy vegetable and in soups (Kundu 1956). Despite tough competition from synthetics, use of jute fibre is increasing because of its eco-friendly, biodegradable, and recyclable nature (Roy 2010).…”

An experiment was conducted to introduce the entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) as an endophyte in jute (Corchorus olitorius), a bast fibre crop through seed treatment. Colonization of root, leaf, stem, capsule, and seed were assessed through plating on selective medium and PCR based detection using B. bassiana specific SCAR markers. Endophytic colonization was detected in all the plants grown from treated seeds, but all the plant parts were not colonized. Colonization was detected in leaves, stems, and green capsules but not in roots and seeds. The endophytic colonization was influenced by both plant part and sampling period. Colonization was greater in leaves (55.87%) compared to stems (12.53%) and capsules (42.44%). The percent colonization was higher in case of 60 days old plants (43.34%) than in 30 days (23.89%) and 120 days (35.39%) old plants. As B. bassiana has already been reported to be pathogenic on jute pests, namely semilooper (Anomis sabulifera) and bihar hairy caterpillar (Spilosoma obliqua), its season long endophytic colonization within jute plant suggests a novel approach of biological control of these pests through seed treatment with the entomopathogen.

“…Unlike cotton it is a bast fibre, wherein fibre is extracted from the stem. It is cultivated mainly in the Southeast Asian countries such as India, Bangladesh, Nepal, China, Indonesia, Thailand and Myanmar and few South American countries (Kundu 1956). Jute industry is one of the oldest industries in India.…”

Discovery of large-scale SNP markers and construction of linkage map in a RIL population of jute (Corchorus capsularis)

et al. 2015

Jute is the most important bast fibre crop of the world. Stem rot disease caused by Macrophomina phaseolina is a major constraint of jute cultivation. Recent advances in genomics and bioinformatics have enabled the development of highthroughput genotyping, allowing the construction of saturated linkage maps for identification of resistant lines. In the present study, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associated with expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were developed and were used to generate comprehensive linkage maps for Corchorus capsularis. From a set of 43,335 variant nucleotide positions detected through in silico analysis, 768 SNPs were selected for genotyping of a recombinant inbred line population. A total of 705 SNPs (91.7 %) successfully detected segregating polymorphisms. In addition to EST-SNPs, genomic simple sequence repeats were assigned to the genetic map in order to obtain an evenly distributed genome-wide coverage. Nine linkage groups were constructed from genetic maps with estimated cumulative total map length of 2016 cM and average inter-locus interval of 4.2 cM. SNP assay and linkage mapping are important set of tools for marker-assisted selection, and it could be used for identifying resistance to M. phaseolina in jute cultivars. This is the first report of developing SNP markers and SNP-based linkage map in jute.

“…It is mainly grown in the south-east Asian countries like India, Bangladesh, Nepal, China, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar and few South American countries. It is used in making sacks, ropes, bags, carpets, shoes, jewellery and home decorations (Kundu 1956). Jute is attacked by a number of diseases such as stem rot (Macrophomina phaseolina), anthracnose (Colletotrichum corchori), black band (Botryodiplodia theobromae), mosaic caused by Corchorus Golden mosaic virus, etc.…”
