Analysis of tobacco leaf transcriptomes reveals differential influences of KCl and K2SO4 on tobacco-specific nitrosamine (TSNA) formation
University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA
Nornicotine is the major precursor of tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs), a group of carcinogens accumulated in tobacco leaves during postharvest processing. A recent study has shown that employing potassium chloride (KCl), a less expensive...
