Abstract
Jute (Corchorus spp.) is the second most important fibre producing plant. Till date the study of jute at the molecular level has been very brief. Here we report the result of bioinformatics analyses of two jute Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) libraries. The analysis reveals presence of nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial genes related to signalling pathway, metabolic and functional processes of jute biology. We have also verified experimentally some of the assemblies predicted by bioinformatics analysis.
