Foliar application of 24-epibrassinolide enhances leaf nicotine content under low temperature conditions during the mature stage of flue-cured tobacco by regulating cold stress tol... by Haiyang Chen, Shuaitao Zhang, Jianbo Chang, Hongru Wei, Hongchen Li, Chaoyang Li, Junjie Yang, Zhengxiong Song, Zhaojun Wang, Jin Lun, Xuelin Zhang, Lihua Li, Xiaoquan Zhang

“…Results To investigate the effects of EBR on leaf nicotine content under low temperature conditions during the mature stage of ‘Yunyan 87’ flue-cured tobacco, four treatments (foliar spraying of 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 mg·L− 1 EBR solutions) were performed by using a single-factor randomized complete block design. The result showed that foliar spraying of different concentrations of EBR notably improve the agronomic and economic traits of flue-cured tobacco to varying degrees, as well as increase the total nitrogen and nicotine content in the tobacco leaves. 0.2 mg·L− 1 EBR treatment showed better results, with nicotine content in the middle and upper leaves after curing increasing by 11.11% and 19.90%, respectively, compared to CK. …”
