Abstract
Molecular markers and genomic resources are integral components of current plant breeding programmes. During the past decades, genomic researches in jute predominantly focussed on the genome and transcriptome sequencing, characterization of genes, development of molecular markers, and use of these resources for linkage map construction, germplasm characterization, phylogenetic analyses, population structure analysis, and cultivar differentiation. However, their direct applications in jute breeding are limited. Major reasons for such slow progress in jute molecular breeding lie in the biological complexity of economically important traits and unusual breeding objectives that are quite different from those of other major crops. In this chapter, we first provided an introduction on jute from the viewpoint of a plant breeder identifying the major constraints in jute breeding, followed by a summary of the developments in molecular marker and genomic researches in jute, and finally identified some potential areas where the application of marker and genomics technologies can aid in developing improved genotypes for versatile future applications.
