Abstract

Tossa jute (Corchorus olitorius L.) is an important lingo-cellulosic bast fibre-crop. It provides biodegradable and environment friendly fibre next to cotton, in terms of usage, global consumption, production, and availability. Narrow genetic diversity of the crop is the major hurdle, which is a demand at priority for any crop improvement programme. In the current investigation 138 jute genotypes of C. olitorius were characterized with ten jute specific SSR markers. A total of 23 alleles were amplified with an average of 2.3 alleles per locus and the PIC value ranged from 0.13 to 0.76 with an average of 0.455. The un-weighted pair-group method with arithmetic average cluster analysis of the 138 jute genotypes depicted a dendrogram using DARWIN, which divided the genetic resource into three major clusters. The study indicated the utility of SSR primers for providing useful and high levels of polymorphism for individual plant genotypes even with a narrow genetic base. Based on cluster analysis the most divergent genotypes identified were OIJ 167 (from Indonesia), OIM 058 and OIM 059 (India), however based on the agronomic traits as maximum plant height, basal diameter and fibre weight they were OIJ 245, OIJ (153 and 161) and OIJ 040, respectively.
