Reducing nitrate and tobacco‐specific nitrosamine level in burley tobacco leaves through grafting on flue‐cured tobacco rootstock

Reducing nitrate and tobacco‐specific nitrosamine level in burley tobacco leaves through grafting on flue‐cured tobacco rootstock

Abstract Nitrosation of pyridine alkaloids in tobacco generates tobacco‐specific nitrosamines (TSNAs), which are notable toxicants in tobacco products and smoke. Burley tobacco, a chloroplast‐ and nitrogen (N)‐deficient phenotype that accumulates high levels of nitrate‐nitrogen (NO3‐N) in its leaves...
