  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 …
