Abstract
Jute is one of the most important bast fiber crops in the world. There are more than 100 species in jute (Corchorus spp.), but only white jute (C. capsularis) and dark jute (C. olitorius) are cultivated as diploid (2n = 2x = 14) crops. There are some different opinions on the center of origin of the two cultivated species. It is generally believed that the cultivated jute originated in Africa or southern Asia. The classification of cultivated jute species is generally based on the morphology, maturing types, and quantitative classification, among which the quantitative classification is divided into hierarchical cluster analysis, two-dimensional distribution, and principal component analysis (PCA). However, the morphological variation of jute is very abundant, so it is difficult to study its genetic diversity based on morphological characteristics and classical plant taxonomy. The development of molecular markers provides a powerful tool for the study of population structure and genetic diversity. Among them, SSR markers have been widely developed and applied in the study of genetic diversity because of their high efficiency, codominant nature, good repeatability, and good universality. Based on the cluster analysis, population structure, and genetic diversity analysis with 63 polymorphic SSR markers, the 300 jute germplasm resources were classified into two groups of white jute and dark jute, further into five subgroups. Recently, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University resequenced 300 diverse jute accessions, and they totally identified 3,415,772 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The genetic diversity and population structure calculated by these new markers were similar to those calculated by SSRs. It is feasible to estimate and differentiate jute population structure effectively using molecular markers, and the markers are promising in molecular assisted breeding, gene map** and fiber development.
