Abstract: | Summary Reproductive effort (RE) of a day-length neutral mutant TCJ-5, its parent, and two other cultivars of jute (Corchorus capsularis) was estimated as reproductive biomass/aerial biomass. Plant height at flowering and aerial biomass were significantly higher in the mutant, while the reproductive biomass at 55 days after flowering was statistically equal. Therefore, the estimated RE was significantly lower in the mutant compared to the parent and other cultivars. The lower RE of the mutant was due to delayed initiation of flowering and additional vegetative growth in this period. The results show alteration of RE by a recessive mutation. |
