Abstract:

In order to resolve the problem of low nicotine content in upper and middle tobacco leaves after baking in the Shaoguan tobacco area of Guangdong, the effects of nitrogen application rate and basal-topdressing ratio regulation on nicotine synthesis and key enzyme activity of flue-cured tobacco were explored. Yueyan 1 was used as the experimental material. The nitrogen application rates were 135, 165, 195 kg/ha and the basal-topdressing ratios were 3:7, 5:5 and 7:3. The tobacco plants in each growth stage were collected, and the root biomass, root activity, dry matter amount, nicotine content and accumulation of tobacco leaves in each part, nicotine content and accumulation of flue-cured tobacco leaves were measured and analyzed. The results showed that, compared with the amount of nitrogen fertilizer and basal-topdressing ratio used by local farmers, under the condition of 195 kg/ha nitrogen application rate and the ratio of base to topdressing of 3:7, the root biomass increased significantly, the root activity increased, and the PMT activity in roots increased significantly. The activities of NND and MTHRF1 decreased, the proline concentration in roots decreased, the nicotine content in roots increased, the dry matter amount of the aboveground tobacco leaves was higher, and the nicotine content and accumulation of the tobacco leaves increased. The nicotine content of the upper and middle leaves of the flue-cured tobacco reached 29.68 and 27.56 mg/g, respectively, the nicotine content is basically within the normal range of nicotine content in tobacco leaves.

Key words: Flue-cured tobacco, Nitrogen application rate, Basal-topdressing ratio regulation, Nicotine synthesis, Key enzymes activity of nicotine synthesis
