Locus System

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.

Topping flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) at the stretch bud stage of floral development increased yield and total alkaloid level of the leaves compared to topping at first open bloom or full flower stages of floral development. An increase in topping height increased yield and decreased level of total alkaloids.Key words: Tobacco (flue-cured), total alkaloids, floral development, yield, topping height

Response of cigar tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) in morphological, agronomic and chemical characteristics to date of planting and planting distance was studied during 1971–73. A cultivar and a breeding line of cigar tobacco were transplanted outdoors on 26 May, 9 (or 12) June and 23 June. The tobacco was spaced 36, 41 and 46 cm in rows that were 97 cm apart. The best results were obtained when cigar tobacco was transplanted not later than 9 June, and the plants were spaced 41 cm in the rows that were 97 cm apart. The highest number of leaves per plant, cured-leaf yield, percentage of nicotine and total alkaloids were obtained from the tobacco transplanted on the first or second date in 3 yr. In 2 yr, the later tobacco had the tallest plants, the largest leaves, the highest percent filler leaf, grade and crop index. Earlier-transplanted tobacco was harvested earlier, although the period to flower decreased with later date of planting. On the average, the tobacco spaced 41 cm was taller and had a shorter period to flower, and higher yield and crop index than that spaced 36 cm or 46 cm. Grade index, percent filler leaf, nicotine and total alkaloids were affected significantly by the distance in 1 yr only.

Pipe Tobacco

A diallel cross of four cigar cultivars and one pipe tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) cultivar was analyzed for the following parameters: grade index, yield, crop revenue or index, percentage of nicotine, percentage of total alkaloids, and susceptability to pole rot. The experiment was performed over 3 years. Analysis was done for general combining ability and specific combining ability. General combining ability was greater than specific combining ability for all variables although significant specific combining ability effects were also present for all parameters with the exception of nicotine and total alkaloids. Reciprocal effects were completely absent. The line Pennbel 69 showed a positive general combining ability effect for yield, crop index, and infestation by pole rot and a high negative general combining ability effect for grade index and percentage of nicotine and total alkaloids. Petit Havane showed a complete reverse of general combining ability effects for these parameters while the other three cultivars were intermediate. High positive specific combining ability effects for grade index, yield, and crop index and high negative specific combining ability effects for the percentage of pole rot were shown by crosses of Pennbel 69.

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.
