In this study, total concentrations of 16 trace elements (Al, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Sb, Hg, Pb, Th and U) in sediments of the rivers of the Sundarban mangrove forest, after the catastrophic oil spill accident in the Sela river of Sundarban, were determined. The overall mean concentr...

Abstract Jute ( Corchorus sp.) is one of the most important sources of natural fibre, covering ∼80% of global bast fibre production 1 . Only Corchorus olitorius and Corchorus capsularis are commercially cultivated, though there are more than 100 Corchorus species 2 in the Malvaceae family. Here we d...

Nowadays developing countries around the globe have been undergoing rapid industrialization which is eventually responsible for environmental contamination. For proper assessment of the level of pollution and the proper application of remediation measures, it is imperative to know the pristine geoch...

Road dust, which reflects ambient air quality, receives various pollutants including toxic metal(oid)s from several natural and/or anthropogenic sources. This manuscript reports a comprehensive evaluation of the levels of seventeen metal(oid)s in road dust of a megacity (Dhaka, Bangladesh). Differen...

Ship-breaking yards in the world mostly reside along the coastal areas which possess diverse elemental contents due to the presence of heavy minerals. So to explain the heavy elemental enrichment of ship-breaking sites in terms of only anthropogenic contribution is insufficient. While studying eleme...

The ethylene-responsive element (AP2/ERF) is one of the keys and conserved transcription factors (TF) in plants that play a vital role in regulating plant growth, development and stress response. A total of 119 CoAP2/ERF genes were identified from the dark jute genome, one of the most important bast...

This study has been conducted on an anthropogenically less influenced transboundary river (Atrai: Indo-Bangladesh) to comprehend the inherent geochemistry and identify potential elemental sources. In doing so, across the Bangladeshi portion, 30 river-bed samples were culled and studied by neutron ac...

Jute fibre is the second most important fibre next to cotton. It is obtained from the bark of plant through microbial retting process. Here we report optimized microbial retting protocol that can lower retting period and produce high fibre quality. A total of 451 bacterial colonies have been isolate...

BACKGROUND: Gibberellin (GA) is one of the most essential phytohormones that modulate plant growth and development. Jute (Corchorus sp.) is the second most important source of bast fiber. Our result has shown that exogenous GA can positively regulate jute height and related characteristics which mea...
