Integrated transcriptomics and metabolomics analysis to characterize cold stress responses in Nicotiana tabacum

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background CB-1 and K326 are closely related tobacco cultivars; however, their cold tolerance capacities are different. K326 is much more cold tolerant than CB-1. Results We studied the transcriptomes and metabolomes of CB-1 and K326 leaf samples treated

Reducing the nicotine content of tobacco by grafting with eggplant

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Nicotine is a stimulant and potent parasympathomimetic alkaloid that accounts for 96–98% of alkaloid content. A reduction in the amount of nicotine in cigarettes to achieve a non-addictive level is necessary.

Degradome, small RNAs and transcriptome sequencing of a high-nicotine cultivated tobacco uncovers miRNA’s function in nicotine biosynthesis

Scientific Reports, 2020
Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is considered as the model plant for alkaloid research, of which nicotine accounts for 90%. Many nicotine biosynthetic genes have been identified and were known to be regulated by jasmonate-responsive transcription factors. As

The Incidence of Tobacco Taxation: Evidence from Geographic Micro-Level Data [PDF]

, 2008
This paper uses a recent increase in Wisconsin’s tobacco tax as a natural experiment to measure the economic incidence of tobacco taxation, using micro-level data on cigarette prices from retail locations in Wisconsin and states that share its border. We

Hyper-crosslinked polymers with controlled multiscale porosity for effective removal of benzene from cigarette smoke

e-Polymers, 2021
A series of hyper-crosslinked polymers (HCPs) with connected hierarchical porous structures were synthesized from phenyl-based precursors of benzene (BEN), benzyl alcohol, aniline, biphenyl, and 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene (TPB) via the knitting method.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Heated tobacco products: another tobacco industry global strategy to slow progress in tobacco control. [PDF]

, 2018
There has been a global decline in tobacco consumption that, if continued, will negatively impact the tobacco industry's profits. This decline led the industry to invent and market new products, including heated tobacco products (HTP).
