    Chromosome-level genomes of the Nicotiana tabacum progenitors, Nicotiana sylvestris and Nicotiana tomentosiformis

    SIERRO N.; OUADI S.; AUBERSON M.; DULIZE R.; GUEDJ E.; IVANOV N.V.; GOEPFERT S.
    PMI R&D, Philip Morris Products S.A., Neuchâtel, Switzerland
    As descendants of the Nicotiana tabacum progenitors, Nicotiana sylvestris and Nicotiana tomentosiformis are important diploid Nicotiana species. In addition, ancestors of N. sylvestris were involved in the polyploidization events that gave rise...

    STP overview - accelerating positive impacts on social and environmental footprints in the tobacco industry

    IRVING B.(1); KUMLIN A.(2)
    (1) Altria Client Services LLC, Richmond, VA, U.S.A.; (2) Sustainable Tobacco Program (STP), Peterson Projects S.A., Carouge, Switzerland
    Programs that incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are increasingly prevalent in the business world, as they are drivers of long-term value especially in industries with labor-intensive supply chains such as tobacco. The...

    Exploring different ways to enhance the livelihoods of tobacco growing communities and further help contracted growers and their families achieve and sustain a living income

    QUATKE C.
    JT International SA, Geneva, Switzerland
    The concept of living income is referenced in the UN declaration of human rights and widely recognized as an enabler for reducing other human rights risks in supply chains such as that of tobacco. There are also clear demonstrable benefits that can...

    Agronomic performance of Polalta-derived breeding lines resistant to tomato spotted wilt virus

    KORBECKA-GLINKA G.(1); TROJAK-GOLUCH A.(1); BAKAHER N.(2); GOEPFERT S.(2)
    (1) Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation (IUNG) - State Research Institute, Puławy, Poland - gkorbecka@iung.pulawy.pl; (2) Philip Morris Products S.A., PMI R&D, Neuchâtel, Switzerland
    Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is one of the most important pathogens threatening tobacco cultivation. The dark-cured cultivar Polalta is TSWV-resistant, but it cannot be easily incorporated into breeding programs, because its hybridization with...

    Dynamics of molecular leaf senescence processes occurring during curing of Virginia tobacco cultivar K326

    CHEVAL C.; BATTEY J.; SIERRO N.; DULIZE R.; BORNAND D.; SIMICEVIC J.; TITZ B.; GUY P.A.; LASZLO C.; HAIDUC A.; DOSSIN E.; BOVET L.; IVANOV N.; GOEPFERT S.
    PMI R&D, Philip Morris Products SA, Neuchâtel, Switzerland
    Plant senescence is the process of aging. It is influenced primarily by genetics and developmental processes as well as environmental cues. However, because of their significant complexity, the molecular networks by which genetics and the environment...

    Consequences of molecular genetic alteration of leaf nitrate levels on TSNAs, alkaloids, flowering time, and biomass in Burley tobaccos

    DEWEY R.E.(1); BOVET L.(2); GOEPFERT S.(2); CAMPANONI P.(2); LEWIS R.S.(1)
    (1) North Carolina State University, Dept. of Crop and Soil Sciences, Raleigh, NC, U.S.A.; (2) PMI R&D, Philip Morris Products S.A., Neuchatel, Switzerland
    We have previously demonstrated that tobacco-specific nitrosamine (TSNA) levels in Burley tobaccos can be substantially lowered using two distinct molecular genetic techniques designed to impede the plant’s ability to store high levels of free...

    Metabolic and transcriptomic shifts during tobacco leaf post-harvest senescence

    BOVET L.; HILFIKER A.; BATTEY J.; SIERRO N.; GOEPFERT S.
    PMI R&D, Philip Morris Products S.A., Neuchâtel, Switzerland
    Tobacco is harvested after plant flowering, when the leaf senescence is more or less visible depending on cultivars. Before the drying phase, current practices allow the senescence to proceed until the detached leaf becomes yellow. This yellowing...

    Philip Morris Products S.A., PMI R&D, Neuchâtel, Switzerland
    Nicotiana tabacum (common tobacco) is a major crop species and a model organism, for which only very fragmented genomic sequences have been available until recently. The three most commonly used tobacco types are flue-cured (or Virginia), Burley and...
