[Difference of potassium absorption characters and mechanism of tobacco in genotypes].

Tabacco (Nicotiana tabacum) has a relatively high requirement for potassium (K). The difference in root characteristics and ability to release K from minerals of flue-cured tobacco in four genotypes ND202, NC628, G28 and NC628 x ND202 were analyzed. The results showed that the more available K released from minerals by roots, the more K would be accumulated by plants.

[Nitrogen uptake and allocation characteristics of flue-cured tobacco in Nanxiong tobacco-planting area of Guangdong Province].

By the method of field in situ culture and 15N isotopic tracer technique, and taking flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tobacum) cultivar K326 as test material, a field experiment was conducted in the Nanxiong tobacco-planting area of Guangdong Province to study the characteristics of soil nitrogen (N) mineralization, the patterns of N accumulation and allocation in tobacco plants, and the allocation of plant-absorbed fertilizer N applied in current growth season. In the study area, the amount of soil mineralized N increased with tobacco growth, peaked at 75 days after transplanting, and decreased thereafter. The soil mineralized N at each tobacco growth stage was significantly higher in the control than in the N fertilization treatment.

[Effects of nitrogen fertilization on leaf senescence, photosynthetic characteristics, yield, and quality of different flue-cured tobacco varieties].

Taking three flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) varieties Y5, Y7, and NC89 as test objects, this paper studied the effects of nitrogen fertilization on their leaf senescence, photosynthetic characteristics, yield, and quality. Increasing nitrogen supply increased the leaf superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, chlorophyll content, and photosynthetic performance, and decreased the leaf malondialdehyde (MDA) content significantly.
