Study of Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) Genotypes Reaction to Broomrape (Orobanche cernua L.) Weed Using Stress Tolerance Indices
Authors
Abstract:
In order to study the resistance of tobacco genotypes to Broomrape (Orobanche cernua L.), two experiments based on the randomized complete block design with three replications were conducted at non-stress and broomrape stress conditions at the tobacco research center of Urmia for two sucsessive years (2007-2009). The results showed that the broomrape infestation reduced the mean of all studied traits. The maximum reduction was recorded in aerial part dried weight (31%) and root dried weight (30%), respectively. So that, these traits were known as susceptible traits. The traits such as number of leaves, aerial part dried weight and root dried weight showed highly positive and significant correlation with tobacco yield at non-stress and stress conditions, respectively. So, one can use these traits for selecting tobacco genotypes with high yield performence. It was also found that there is a high correlation between the tobacco yield in non-stress and stress conditions with harmonic and geometric mean indices and stress tolerance index, so these indices can be used to assess tolerance to Broomrape stress in tobacco. Cluster analysis grouped the studied genotypes into three clusters containing susceptible genotypes (42 genotypes), moderately resistant (13 genotypes) and resistance (9 genotypes). In overall, the genotypes C.H.T.209.12e, C.H.T.209.12e×F.K.40-1 and genotypes SPT413, SPT432 and SPT412 are introduced as the most resistance and the highest susceptible genotypes to Broomram, respectively.

1. Coproporphyrinogenase was extracted and purified from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Enzyme activity was mainly located in mitochondria rather than in chloroplasts. The enzyme was purified by differential centrifugation, ammonium sulphate fractionation, calcium phosphate gel adsorption and dialysis. A 69-fold final purification was obtained. 2. An apparent K(m) value of 3.6x10(-5)m was foun...

For the purpose of graphical analysis and estimation of genetic parameters related to yield and its components, six tobacco genotypes was crossed in half -diallel mating design. In this study, the F2 progenies and their parents were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The results of analysis of variance indicated a significant difference between genotypes fo...

BACKGROUND: Nicotiana tobacco contains large amounts of alkaloid nicotine. Tobacco plant is used for smoking and causes many health problems since it is high in nicotine which is one of the widely-recognized toxic compounds with serious side effects for different body organs. Reducing nicotine content of this plant is a way to reduce its health hazards in cigarette smokers. Utilizing the new ...

This experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of Isfahan University of Technology, Najafabad, Iran in 2014 and 2015 to evaluate drought tolerance indices of some sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) genotypes. In this study, 21 sesame genotypes isolated from different local populations along with seven exotic cultivars were evaluated at two irrigation regimes, using a randomized complete block desi...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Drought stress is one of the most important factors in reducing yield and barley production in rainfed arid regions, and counteracting or reducing the effect of stresses as a useful solution to increase barley yield. Therefore, improvement of stress-tolerant and suitable barley cultivars for arid and semi-arid regions is essential. Material and Me...
