Abstract EN
A “thick stem” mutant of Corchorus olitorius L.
was induced at M2 (0.50%, 4 h, EMS) and the true breeding mutant is assessed across generations (M5 to M7) considering morphometric traits as well as SEM analysis of pollen grains and raw jute fibres, stem anatomy, cytogenetical attributes, and lignin content in relation to control.
Furthermore, single fibre diameter and tensile strength are also analysed.
The objective is to assess the stability of mutant for its effective exploration for raising a new plant type in tossa jute for commercial exploitation and efficient breeding.
The mutant trait is monogenic recessive to normal.
Results indicate that “thick stem” mutant is stable across generations ( 2 n = 14 ) with distinctive high seed and fibre yield and significantly low lignin content.
Stem anatomy of the mutant shows significant enhancement in fibre zone, number of fibre pyramids and fibre bundles per pyramid, and diameter of fibre cell in relation to control.
Moreover, tensile strength of mutant fibre is significantly higher than control fibre and the trait is inversely related to fibre diameter.
However the mutant is associated with low germination frequency, poor seed viability, and high pollen sterility, which may be eliminated through mutational approach followed by rigorous selection and efficient breeding.
