Corchorus olitorius L. is a nutritious green leafy vegetable that is eaten as a viscous soup in
African and Middle Eastern cultures. The purpose of this review is to highlight the nutritional …

Today, plant fibers are considered as an important new renewable resource that can
compete with some synthetic fibers, such as glass, in fiber-reinforced composites. In …

We generated the bast transcriptomes of a deficient lignified phloem fibre mutant and its wild-
type jute (Corchorus capsularis) using Illumina paired-end sequencing. A total of 34,163 …

We used RAD (restriction-site-associated DNA) sequencing to detect genome-wide SNPs
and construct a dense linkage map using an intercross F 2 population in jute (Corchorus …

Hibiscus sabdariffa L. is a bast fibre crop bearing edible calyx. In the present study we
characterized geographically diverse accessions (124) of H. sabdariffa var. altissima (HSA) …

This paper investigates biochemical, morphological and mechanical properties of a large
range of plant fibres explored with the same methods. Biochemical results clearly exhibit …

We report the first complete microsatellite genetic map of jute (Corchorus olitorius L.; 2 n=
2×= 14) using an F 6 recombinant inbred population. Of the 403 microsatellite markers …

Molokhia is a nutritious green leafy vegetable consumed in African and Middle Eastern
countries as a viscous soup. Although the leaves are used in the traditional medicine and …

Fasciclin-like arabinogalactan proteins (FLAs), a class of arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs)
are involved in plant growth and development via cell communication and adhesion. FLAs …

Jute, the second most important natural fibre crop after cotton in the world. Bangladesh
occupied the first position for jute fibre production and exportation after India among south …
