“…Studies show a strong correlation between the first flower node and effective plant height; the higher the first flower node, the more fiber is produced in kenaf [3] (Li et al, 2016). Kenaf is outstanding due to its quick growth cycle, tall, durable plants, high-stress resistance, soft bast fiber, strong tensile force of fiber, high fiber yield, and rapid water dispersal [4] (An et al, 2017). Maximizing yield and productivity in kenaf requires an understanding and selection of late-flowering or less sensitive kenaf varieties [5] (Al-Mamun et al, 2021).…”

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L) consists of various beneficial components like stalks, seeds, leaves, fibers, oils, proteins, allelopathic chemicals, and fiber strands, among other things. Despite the numerous uses of the crop, there is little or no information on optimum agronomic practices such as planting date and N fertilization of the crop in the Upper East Region (UER) of Ghana where the crop is widely cultivated by smallholder farmers. Field experiments were therefore carried out in 2020 and repeated during the 2021 cropping season in the study area. The objective of the study was to determine appropriate planting date and N fertilization for increased kenaf productivity. In each year, the treatments consisted of 3 × 5 factorial combinations of three planting dates (1 st July, 7 th July and 14 th July) and five levels of N (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 kg/ha) replicated three times. The design of the experiment was a split-plot with the N fertilizer as the main plot and the planting date assigned to sub plot. The results showed that, planting kenaf in early (1 st ) July or N fertilization at the rate of 60 kg/ha increased plant density, stem height, stem diameter, dry bast and core yields in both cropping seasons.

“…The quality of kenaf pulp is similar to that of the pulp from broadleaf forest trees. Accordingly, kenaf pulp is considered to be a new raw material for the production of paper that can replace wood pulp, especially in developed countries [9]. Kenaf is also an important raw material for the traditional textile industry.…”

“…Kenaf is also an important raw material for the traditional textile industry. In addition to being used to produce hemp rope, sacks, geo textiles, carpet cloth, wall coverings, canvas, and curtain cloth [10,11], kenaf-fiber raw materials have recently been widely used to develop and produce automobile linings, paper film, light plates, sewage purification materials, soil conditioners, plastic fillers, activated carbon, and environmentally friendly adsorption materials because it is a natural fiber with desirable characteristics (e.g., antibacterial, breathable, moisturizing, dries quickly, and degradable) [9]. Kenaf has been described as a "potential dominant crop in the 21st century" and a "futuristic crop" [9].…”

Kenaf is one of the most important natural cannabis plants. Molecular marker-assisted breeding is vital for accelerating the breeding process of kenaf. However, the number of kenaf markers is insufficient for molecular marker-assisted breeding. Using transcriptome sequencing data for salt-stressed kenaf plants, the number and distribution of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and single nucleotide variations (SNVs) in the expressed sequences were determined. The objectives of this study were to elucidate the sequence variations in kenaf genes expressed in response to salt stress and to identify stable and dependable molecular markers. Primers were designed for SSR loci and then EST-SSR molecular markers were generated. The subsequent analyses revealed that 30.50% of the unigenes contained SSR motifs, most of which were single nucleotides followed by trinucleotides and dinucleotides. The unigenes containing SSRs were mostly associated with kenaf salt tolerance. Additionally, 10,483 SNVs were detected in contig sequences. Of the 3995 differentially expressed genes encoding interacting proteins, 1297 contained SSRs. Most of these genes were associated with metabolic pathways (e.g., 03000 transcription factors, B09132 signal transduction, and 04122 sulfur relay system). We designed 20 pairs of EST-SSR primers to genotype 30 kenaf varieties (lines), of which 9 primer pairs were ideal for genotyping (e.g., 1 highly polymorphic marker and 2 moderately polymorphic markers). The primer pairs designed for the EST-SSR markers in the kenaf genome may be useful SSR molecular markers for future research on kenaf. The verified polymorphic markers may be applicable to the molecular marker-assisted breeding of salt-tolerant kenaf varieties.

“…The processed products of kenaf fiber include automobile lining, agricultural paper films, fluff pulp, materials for sewage purification, soil conditioner, active carbon, and environment-friendly adsorption materials in addition to traditional products (e.g., hemp rope, hemp bag, carpet backing, canvas, and curtain cloth). Owing to its notable growth adaptability, especially its strong drought resistance, kenaf can be planted on mountain slopes and hilly topography, and thus does not compete for arable land with cereals (An et al, 2017). Therefore, kenaf is a crop that shows potential for wider cultivation to address the increasing demand for natural fibers.…”

Kenaf is an annual bast fiber crop. Drought stress influences the growth of kenaf stems and causes a marked decrease in fiber yield and quality. Research on the drought resistance of kenaf is therefore important, but limited information is available on the response mechanism of kenaf to drought stress. In this study, a transcriptome analysis of genes associated with the drought stress response in kenaf was performed. About 264,244,210 bp high-quality reads were obtained after strict quality inspection and data cleaning. Compared with the control group, 4,281 genes were differentially expressed in plants treated with drought stress for 7 d (the drought stress group). Compared with the control group, 605 genes showed differential expression in plants subjected to drought stress for 6 d and then watered for 1 d (the rewatering group). Compared with the rewatering group, 5,004 genes were differentially expressed in the drought stress group. In the comparisons between the drought stress and control groups, and between the drought stress and rewatering groups, the pathway that showed the most highly significant enrichment was plant hormone signal transduction. In the comparison between the rewatering and control groups, the pathways that showed the most highly significant enrichment were starch and sucrose metabolism. Eight transcription factors belonging to the AP2/ERF, MYB, NAC, and WRKY families (two transcription factors per family) detected in the leaf transcriptome were associated with the drought stress response. The identified transcription factors provide a basis for further investigation of the response mechanism of kenaf to drought stress. . 2008.
