Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Big tobacco root tips contained more total nitrogen and total sugar than fine roots.
- Observation Big tobacco roots had lower nicotine content and nicotine-nitrogen to total-nitrogen ratio than fine roots.
- Intervention effect Nicotine synthesized per milligram was highest with low nitrogen in rooting media.
- Intervention effect Nicotine synthesized per milligram was highest with high nitrogen in elongation media.
- Association Medium sugar level appeared to affect nicotine synthesis more than nitrogen level.
- Intervention effect Around 2 per cent sugar was optimal for nicotine synthesis.
- Intervention effect Increasing gibberellin from 0 ppm to 1000 ppm decreased nicotine synthesis activity.
