Abstract Tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.) is an economic crop and a model organism for studies of plant biology genetics. As allotetraploid generated from interspecific hybridization, tobacco has massive genome (4.5 Gb). Recently, genetic map with 45,081 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers was constructed using whole-genome sequencing data population including 274 individuals. This prov...

The Cf-9 gene encodes an extracytoplasmic leucine-rich repeat protein that confers resistance in tomato to races of the fungus Cladosporium fulvum that express the corresponding avirulence gene Avr 9. We investigated whether the genomic Cf-9 gene functions in potato and tobacco. Transgenic tobacco and potato plants carrying Cf-9 exhibit a rapid hypersensitive cell death response (HR) to Avr 9 p...

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 me...

We investigated adaptive responses of the photosynthetic electron transport to a decline in the carbon assimilation capacity. Leaves of different ages from wild-type tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) L. var Samsun NN and young mature leaves of tobacco transformants with impaired photoassimilate export were used. The assimilation rate decreased from 280 in young mature wild-type leaves to below 50 mmo...

The plasmid pYDH208, which confers the ability to catabolize the mannityl opines mannopine and agropine, was mobilized into the nonpathogenic Pseudomonas syringae strain Cit7. The growth of the mannityl opine-catabolizing strain Cit7(pYDH208) was compared with that of the near-isogenic non-opine-catabolizing strain Cit7xylE on leaves of wild-type tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi) and trans...

Recently, heat pump drying has been widely used in tobacco processing. Considering the importance of this issue, it is significant to further investigate temperature distribution and energy analysis process. To develop an energy-saving, environmental-friendly, high-quality method, distribution, dehumidification performance, economic issues, thermal efficiency a curing barn (HPCB) traditional co...

The article is devoted to the cleaning of tobacco leaves by leaf-by-leaf method, using a roller-type separating device acting on object with drum knife having cutting edges, forming leaf-separating cells in working area. subject these studies highly specialized and relates field agricultural engineering. Tobacco plants were selected as processing. purpose research was theoretical substantiation...

s of Workshop Papers Abstracts of Workshop Paperss of Workshop Papers TOBACCO LEAF PROTEIN Pilot-scale technology that extracts high-quality protein from young tobacco leaves has been developed. Soluble proteins extracted from tobacco plants might be added to foods as nutritional supplements or for functional properties (e.g., gelling, thickening). Although not fully tested, they might have a s...
