“…Overall, the mutant line M 2 5 has more numerous leaves than the others. Some authors [20,21] likewise noted significant effect on dry weight for the mutants when compared to the control. Another study [13] reported that the weight of dry calyx in mutant was also increased as compared with the parent line.…”

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is known as a multipurpose crop producing biomass for energy thus, the study was conducted to select the elite mutants with higher biomass produced through mutation. Obtained from the National Agricultural Genetic Resources Center (NAGRC) in Korea, the seeds of the original natural resource named IT202801 (control) were irradiated with 250 Gy gamma-ray. The agronomic performances, genetic variation and histological analysis of the elite mutant lines were investigated at M 2 generation in comparison with the control. Significant differences were observed from the previous three evaluations of the eight mutants. Nine plants, including the control and eight mutants, had little difference in the number of flowering days from July 23 to July 25. The leaf shape of the control was entire, while the leaf shape of the mutant was palmate. Of the eight lines, M 2 IT20-5 showed better performance in regard to diameter, dry weight and seed weight per plant. The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis produced a genetic diversity of 72.7% within the genotypes used. A dendrogram was constructed based on the RAPD fragments. Differentiation was demonstrated between the control and kenaf mutants. Taken together, the mutant line, M 2 IT20-5, can be useful as a resource for high biomass production.

This study examined the impact of organic manures from different sources (poultry, sheep, and cattle) on lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L., Lamiaceae) during different harvests. Manure application increased the photosynthetic pigments levels (chlorophyll-a, 9–41%; chlorophyll-b, 24–60%), biomass (41–60%), and essential oil yield (60–71%). Sheep manure treatment exhibited the highest antioxidant capacity among all the manures tested. Through GC-MS and GC-FID analysis, 10 chemical constituents were identified in the essential oil, accounting together for 91–95% of the total composition. The primary chemical component was geranial (39–46%), followed by neral (28–35%), (E)-caryophyllene (4.7–11%), geranyl acetate (2.7–5.9%), and caryophyllene oxide (1.7–4.8%). The utilization of livestock manures significantly improved the quality of the essential oil in terms of neral and geranial percentages compared to the control. Notably, during mid-August and early September, there was a substantial rise in these valuable compounds. However, a decrease in geranyl acetate and oxygenated monoterpenes resulted in a decline in the antioxidant capacity to 3%. Consequently, it is recommended to utilize essential oils from the second and third harvests for industrial purposes. Overall, the use of livestock manures, especially sheep manure, as a nutrient source for lemon balm cultivation proves to be a viable approach for producing high-quality essential oils.

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.), which belongs to the family of Malvaceae, is an annual C3 and a common warm season fiber plant native to India and Africa (Yazan et al. 2011).It is one of the most important fibre crops in the world. It has been cultivated and used twine, rope, gunny bag, sackcloth, pulping and paper making, oil absorption, potting media, board making, filtration media and animal feed (Dempsey 1975, Sellers & Reichert 1999, Cheng 2001, Charles 2002. Also, the seeds are good source of low cholesterol vegetable oil and for biodiesel production (Webber & Bledsoe 1993).Although kenaf is a tropical plant, its cultivars are now well adapted to a wide geographical and climatic range (Danalatos & Archontoulis 2010). Its height reaches 4-6 m in about 4-5 months and a yield is 6-10 tonnes of dry mass per acre each year, which is 3-5 times greater than the yield for the southern pine tree taking 7-40 years to be used (LeMahieu et al. 2003).The 'green tag' is further associated with kenaf because of its promising growth, and scavenges extensive amounts of Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from the atmosphere. It is the most abundant gas which could give severe effects to the global warming. So, kenaf is the best suitable resource to go green.The Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard (RPS) has been operated in 44 countries including USA, Japan, and so forth. Since 2012, it has been implemented in Korea. The policy's aim is to increase expansion of a new renewable energy to decrease the CO 2 of an atmosphere. So, a lot of wood pellet
