Abstract:

The Sibyl like compounds,their degradation products and petroleum ether extracts are important aroma compounds in tobacco. In this study,the effects of planting density,amount of nitrogen application and number of left leaves on the Sibyl like compounds and petroleum ether extracts of tobacco leaves were investigated,for providing effective measures to further highlight the strong flavor style of tobacco leaves. Taking flue-cured tobacco variety Qushou 1 as test material,the above three factors were set at three different levels according to L9(3 4)orthogonal design. The morphology and density of glandular hair in different treatments were observed,and the secretion of glandular hair in different treatments was measured. The expression levels of gene CYC-1,CYP71D16,etc. related to the metabolism of cembratriene-diols were compared by using fluorescence quantitative PCR,the contents of petroleum ether extract and solanone in flue-cured tobacco leaves with different treatments were compared,and the sensory quality was evaluated. Planting density was the key factor affecting the total density of glandular hairs,the content of alkanes on leaf surface and petroleum ether extract of flue-cured tobacco. The number of left leaves had the greatest influence on the content of solanone. The amount of nitrogen application was the key factor affecting the total amount of cembratriene-diols,total amount of leaf exudates,relative expressions of CYC-1 and CYP71D16,and sensory quality evaluation. Via appropriate cultivation measures the up-regulation of genes related to the metabolism of cembratriene-diols can be promoted,the secretion of flue-cured tobacco leaves improved,and the contents of petroleum ether extract and solanone increased,thus the sensory quality improved,further and the flavor style of tobacco leaves highlighted.

Key words: planting density, amount of nitrogen application, number of left leaves, leaf surface exudate, cembratriene-diols, petroleum ether extract, solanone
