  Advances in Genetic Enhancement, Processing Innovation and Sustainable Valorization of Jute (Corchorus spp.): A Critical Review

  By Md Al-Mamun1, Shamima Nasrin, Md Wahidul Islam, Tapan Kumar, Md. Mashiur Rahman4

  Abstract: The accelerating global shift toward environmentally responsible material systems has intensified scientific and industrial interest in lignocellulosic bast fibres. Jute (Corchorus spp.) remains one of the most economically and ecologically significant natural fibres due to its renewability, biodegradability, and substantial contribution to rural livelihoods. This review critically synthesizes contemporary progress in genetic improvement, fibre structural optimization, retting biotechnology, surface engineering, and composite integration. Emphasis is placed on genomics-assisted breeding, targeted …

  Biotechnological Advances in Improving Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Jute (Corchorus spp.): Genomic and Functional Insights

  By Md Al-Mamun1, T. Afroz2, M. Abdullah-Al-Mamun2, Md. Mashiur Rahman3

  Abstract: Jute (Corchoruscapsularis and C. olitorius) is an economically significant natural bast fiber crop, particularly in Bangladesh and South Asia that faces severe constraints from salinity and waterlogging due to climate change and coastal inundation. Despite its agricultural importance, jute has historically lacked genomic resources for molecular improvement. Recent release of high‑quality reference genomes, coupled with transcriptomics and functional genomics, has enabled identification of stress‑responsive genes and regulatory networks. This review …
