CTH144 is a new flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) hybrid recommended for commercial release in Canada. The cured leaf quality of CTH144 was superior to both check varieties Delgold and CT157. The yield potential of CTH144 was intermediate compared with the checks. As a result, the economic return of CTH144 is superior to both check varieties. CTH144 has resistance to Tobacco Mosaic Virus. CTH144 is adapted to the tobacco-growing areas of southwestern Ontario.

Experiments were conducted to study the NO3− and Cl− interactions during uptake by burley tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L., cult Ky 14) and the effects of their interactions on plant composition over long growth periods. Results indicated that NO3− or Cl− inhibited the absorption of the other anion by burley tobacco plants but did not influence the composition of cations. Positive linear relationships were found between NO3− and Cl− levels in solution, and the NO3− and Cl− contents in the plants in the laboratory and greenhouse studies. The inhibition of NO3− by Cl− during accumulation was also evident for tobacco plants grown under field conditions for longer periods. The interaction between NO3− and Cl− appears to be competitive during accumulation by burley tobacco. Competition between NO3− and Cl− during accumulation is proposed to be localized in the leaf cell rather than at the root–media interface.

The genetic effects and the relative contribution of two loci to the level of total alkaloids in burley tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) were determined. The nine genotypes for a two-locus system were developed and evaluated in two environments. Significant additive effects were found at both loci, a dominance effect was significant at one locus, and the additive × additive epistatic effect was significant. All interactions between genetic effects and environments were nonsignificant. The relative dosage effects of the loci were approximately 2.4 to 1.
