Abstract

To investigate the apical regulation measures on quality of flue-cured tobacco,the effects of different topping measures on activity of polyphenol oxidase(PPO) and chemical components of tobacco leaves were studied.The results showed that topping and debud clearly promoted synthesis of nicotine and its accumulation in tobacco leaves,increased content of reduced sugar,improved PPO activity at maturity,reduced potassium loss from leaves in late growth stage and increased potassium content in upper and middle leaves.
