    Use of exotic Nicotiana tabacum germplasm for confronting an inverse genetic correlation in flue-cured tobacco

    LEWIS R.S.
    Department of Crop and Soil Science, North Carolina State University, NC, U.S.A.
    Inverse genetic correlations between cured alkaloid accumulation and cured leaf yields in flue-cured tobacco complicate the development of higher-yielding cultivars while maintaining alkaloids at commercially acceptable levels. Introgression of...

    Development of a mutant library and a high-quality reference genome for forward genetics in tobacco wild relatives Nicotiana sylvestris

    TAKEUCHI T.; ARAI M.; UDAGAWA H.; MAGOME H.; TAJIMA T.; TAKAKURA Y.
    Japan Tobacco Inc., Leaf Tobacco Research Center, Oyama, Tochigi, Japan
    Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is an allotetraploid species with complex genome structure. This complexity prevents tobacco from forward phenotypic screen of gene-knockout mutations because their effect can be masked by the corresponding homeologous...
