Abstract

The genus Corchorus includes over 170 species out of which two cultivated species, namely, C. olitorius and C. capsularis, are of great global economic importance for bast fiber. This chapter critically reviews genetics—both Mendelian and quantitative of important fiber-related traits, cytogenetic aspects including karyotype, chromosome evolution, heteroploidy, and conventional breeding for varietal development in jute to collage and enrich the wealth of information in a holistic way to be useful for future research programs for genetic improvement in jute. Future strategies for successful hybridization between cultivated and wild species and subsequently generation of pre-breeding material to enhance genetic variability, broadening the genetic base through involvement of more diverse parents in crosses in form of diallel selective mating system or multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross population, insights into genetics of premature flowering, pectin and their genetic improvement in desired direction, use of cytogenetic tools, exploitation of heterosis have been suggested.
