The development of many ‘next-generation’ tobacco products is directly linked to the increase in demand for varieties with new chemical profiles. In France there is a commercial interest in a domestic supply of nicotine and this context creates a...

Tobacco broomrapes (Phelipanche ramosa, Phelipanche aegyptiaca and Orobanche Cernua) are widespread parasitic plants from the Orobanchaceae family, that cause important damage in tobacco crops. Broomrapes are mainly present in Europe, Middle East and...

Farming in sustainable ways requires good knowledge and understanding of plant protection products (PPPs). To facilitate this task, we have developed PhytoScan, a mobile app that promotes sustainable farming practices by providing up-to-date...

Considering that 80 % of marine litter is made of plastic, the EU adopted in 2019 the Single Use Plastic Directive (SUP). It targets ten single use plastic items representing 70 % of the marine litter. Cigarette butts made of cellulose...

Due to cheaper costs associated with next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, the availability of transcriptomic and genomic information has enabled the characterization of new molecular markers related to important agronomic traits. Today,...

Nicotiana tabacum, or cultivated tobacco, is an important plant model whose genome has been explored recently. However, the previous tobacco assemblies based on short reads sequencing showed some flaws. Thanks to new sequencing technologies, the...

Heated tobacco products (HTPs), whatever their design, deliver reduced harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs) aerosol emissions thanks to reduced temperature applied to tobacco. Last year we presented a mass balance method (2020_ST06)...

Collaborative studies are widely used for evaluating the performance of analytical methods. The ISO standards suggest first checking for the removal of any atypical observations (outliers) before estimating the repeatability and reproducibility of...

The Cooperation Centre for Scientific Research Relative to Tobacco (CORESTA) is an Association founded in 1956, with the purpose to promote international cooperation in scientific research relative to tobacco and its derived products. The CORESTA...
