    The WRKY transcription factor family plays an important role in regulating abiotic stress.To systematically analyze the sequence characteristics and expression patterns of NtWRKY11 gene in tobacco,and explore the response mechanism of NtWRKY11 under abiotic stress such as low temperature and drought,the full-length cDNA sequence of NtWRKY11 gene was amplified by PCR using common tobacco cDNA as a template.The basic properties of NtWRKY11 protein were analyzed by bioinformatics software and the subcellular localization of NtWRKY11 protein was studied by constructing a plant expression vector.The expression of NtWRKY11 gene was detected by qRT-PCR technology in different tissues at the full flowering stage and under different abiotic stresses.The results showed that the full-length cDNA of NtWRKY11 gene in tobacco was 999 bp,encoding 332 amino acids,and it shared 54.23% similarity with ramie BnWRKY11.Its promoter region contained three kinds of cis-acting elements(one MBS,one MYB and three ARBE),which probably worked together to enhance the drought resistance of plants.It also contained three salicylic acid-responsive cis-acting elements(TCA-element),which could improve the low temperature tolerance of plants.Subcellular localization results indicated that the NtWRKY11 protein was located in the nucleus.The expression analysis of NtWRKY11 in different tissues at the full flowering stage showed that NtWRKY11 was highly expressed in old leaves,significantly higher than in roots.However,the expression in flowers was significantly lower than that in roots,and there was no significant difference between stems,new leaves and roots. The expression analysis under abiotic stress showed that the relative expression of the gene was significantly higher than that of normal (CK).The relative expression level under high salt stress was not significantly different from CK,while the relative expression level under high temperature stress was significantly lower than CK.All in all,NtWRKY11 is highly expressed in old leaves,and its expression level is enhanced under abiotic stresses such as drought stress and low temperature stress,indicating that this gene acts as a forward transcription factor to regulate drought and low temperature stress.

    To explore the effect of planting density on disease and quality of tobacco and the response characteristics of soil microorganisms in rainy regions,a field experiment was conducted in the Rainy Regions.The random block design was adopted to study the effects of different planting densities(CK was 16 650 and T1 was 18 525 plants/ha) on yield of tobacco and soil microbial community structure during the experimental periods. Results suggested that:compared with the CK treatment,T1 treatment increased by 6.02% for the tobacco plant height,and 8.65% for yield,respectively. Compared with CK treatment,T1 treatment decreased by 15.38% for tobacco black shank,11.76% for tobacco black root rot,and 18.18% for tobacco anthracnose at the mature stage,respectively. T1 treatment increased by 1.62%for the species diversity and decreased by 0.99% for the richness of the rhizosphere soil bacterial community,increased by 3.76% for the species richness and decreased by 4.71% for the diversity of the fungal community when compared with CK treatment. The bacterial and fungal community structure of the T1 treatment was similar to that of the CK treatment,but the microbial dominant taxa in the soil samples was inconsistent. In the horizontal structure of phylum,T1 treatment relative abundance of bacteria in the soil Proteobacter,Acidobacteria and Actinobacteria,and fungal in the soil Ascomycota was higher. In the horizontal structure of genera,T1 treatment relative abundance of bacteria Sphingomonas and fungi Penicillium was significantly improved. Redundancy analysis (RDA)showed that environmental factors (sunshine duration,rainfall,and temperature)significantly affected the bacterial and fungal community structure,and the influence of soil bacterial community was rainfall>temperature>sunshine duration,the influence of soil fungal community was sunshine duration>rainfall>temperature,respectively. This study indicated that properly increasing the planting density of flue-cured tobacco in rainy regions could improve the soil microenvironment,and reduce tobacco diseases,which could improve the quality of flue-cured tobacco and increase the income of tobacco farmers.

    To determine the genetic diversity and genetic structure of Phytophthora nicotianae from Henan Province,34 P. nicotianae isolates were analyzed by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker. The results showed that 30 bands were amplified using 6 RAPD primers and 90% of them were polymorphic. Nei's gene diversity index was 0.271 0,and Shannon's information index was 0.402 8. The genetic similarity coefficient of 34 isolates ranged from 0.59 to 1.00. Based on UPGMA dendrogram,34 isolates were divided into 6 groups with 0.80 genetic similarity. Group Ⅰ was the dominant group including 26 isolates. The result of principle coordinate analysis was basically similar to that of UPGMA dendrogram. The result of genetic structure analysis revealed that P.nicotianae population in Henan originated from 2 ancestral subpopulations. The subpopulation Ⅰ and subpopulation Ⅱ accounted for 72.73%,27.27%,respectively. The subpopulation Ⅰ was the dominant subpopulation. Genetic component of 55.88% of isolates almost consisted of only one subpopulation. Therefore,the genetic diversity of P.nicotianae from Henan was low and the genetic structure of them was also simple.

    In order to study the effect of different rootstocks on the disease resistance of tobacco grafted seedlings, and to clarify the mechanism of Yunyan 87 (Y87) as rootstock to improve the resistance of scion Hongdajinyuan (HD) to bacterial wilt, this study used split grafting and raw material band winding method to construct HD/HD grafted and HD/Y87 flue-cured tobacco seedlings respectively, using HD as the scion and Y87 as the rootstock. The PAL activity of HD/HD and HD/Y87 protective enzymes was measured. Finally, mRNA of 5 HD/HD or HD/Y87 were extracted and reverse transcribed to construct a total cDNA library by high-throughput sequencing technology and Illumina HiSeqTM 4000 sequencing platform. After sequencing and filtering low-quality Reads, the reference genome was compared with TopHat2, and the genes expression amount and differentially expressed genes were obtained by Cufflinks and DESeq software Heterogene expression. The results showed that the PAL enzyme activity of HD/Y87 was significantly higher than that of HD/HD at different sampling times, 48 414 474-48 697 874 Clean Reads and 38 272-40 938 genes were obtained from four samples, respectively, and the number of selective shear events of HD/Y87 was higher than HD/HD. After comparing the gene expression between HD/Y87 and HD/HD, 3 904 differential genes were obtained, 3 096 genes were up-regulated, 808 genes were down regulated; among the up-regulated genes, there were 3 genes ecoding phenylalanine ammonia lyases, 5 genes ecoding Myb family transcription factors, and 5 genes ecoding polyphenol oxidase involved in lignin synthesis, it also had 2 disease-related proteins and 3 genes ecoding ERF transcription factors. These results showed that Y87 as rootstock could improve the activity of HD PAL and gene expression of various resistance genes (including PAL, PPO and disease related protein) in scion, so as to improve the resistance of HD to bacterial wilt and other diseases.

    A plant expression vector pBI121 -StPR1 was constructed to clarify the role of potato StPR1 gene in disease resistance, and introduce StPR1 gene into tobacco by Agrobacterium transformation method. The disease resistance and physiological characteristics of transgenic tobacco were investigated using different pathogen treatment, including bacterial disease soft rot (E. carotovora subsp. Carotovora Borgey, Ecc; E. chrysanthemi Burkholder. Atroseptica Dye, Ech; E. carotovora subsp. Mc Fadden et Dimock, Eca), bacterial wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum, RS) and fungal disease dry rot (F. sambucinum, F. avenaceum). The results showed that the diameter of lesions leaves increased with the prolongation of stress time in transgenic tobacco and wild type (WT) under the pathogen stress, and the diameter of transgenic tobacco lesions were significantly smaller than WT. In the physiological characteristics analysis, the physiological indexes of leaves increased with the prolongation of stress time in WT and transgenic tobacco, but the activities of SOD, POD and CAT in transgenic tobacco were all increased to different degrees compared WT. The results of disease resistance and physiological characteristics showed that transgenic tobacco had stronger resistance to pathogenic bacteria and fungi, indicating that the StPR1 gene played an important role in the disease resistance of potato, which could provide a theoretical basis for PR1 gene resistance in plants.

    In order to explore the function of BdDREB1-like gene in transgenic tobacco, it was cloned and analyzed through bioinformatics technology. The open reading frame of this gene was 684 bp, encoded 228 amino acids, and the molecular weight of its encoding protein was 24.178 ku. It contained only one typical AP2 domain and belonged to the DREB family of AP2/EREBP superfamily. Multiple sequence alignment and evolutionary analysis showed that it was closely related to Rye ScCBFI. Subcellular localization analysis showed that BdDREB1-like was located in the nucleus. It was then constructed into plant expression vector and transformed into tobacco by Agrobacterium-mediated method to further confirm its function. PCR and RT-PCR screening showed that BdDREB1-like gene was not only integrated into tobacco genome, but also expressed stably. Transgenic tobacco seedlings with BdDREB1-like gene had higher germination rate under hydrogen peroxide stress. In order to further determine the relationship between BdDREB1-like gene and oxidative stress, we treated the one-month-old transgenic tobacco plants under oxidative stress with MV (Methyl viologen). The results showed that there were no significant differences in the contents of hydrogen peroxide, catalase and other physiological indicators except for SOD between wild type and T3 transgenic line, while there were only two physiological indexes of POD and chloroplast content of T1 transgenic line, which were significantly different from those of wild type under normal growth condition. Under oxidative stress, transgenic tobacco plants with BdDREB1-like gene had lower malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide content, higher peroxidase activity, catalase, superoxide dismutase and chlorophyll content compared with wild type. These results suggested that overexpression of BdDREB1-like gene enhanced the tolerance of plant to oxidative stress.

    In order to explore the effects of tillage depth on the growth, development, yield and quality of tobacco plants in the Zhaoyang tobacco-growing area, there was experimental research on the depth of the tillage to the treatments 20 cm (T1), 25 cm (T2), 30 cm (T3) and CK (15 cm) by the randomized block design in the field. The results showed that there were significantly different at 0.05 of volume-weight and soil porosity between T2 and T1 in the long-term, and there was significantly different at 0.05 level of volume-weight between T2 and T3. The T2 dry matter accumulation of tobacco plants roots, stems and leaves was comparatively large at different times, followed by T3 and T1, and CK was the worst. The root-knot nematode disease of T3 was the lightest, the incidence rate was 25.23%, and there was significantly different at 0.05 level with CK; the disease index T3 (4.04) < T1 (5.27) < T2 (5.39), significantly lower than CK (18.64) at 0.01 level. In the agronomic traits, the plant height of T2 was 112.85 cm, the leaf area coefficient of T2 was 3.09, and the stem circumference of T3 was 12.07 cm, which was significantly higher than CK at 0.05 level. In the economic traits, T2 yield, upper grade tobacco ratio (α=0.01), medium grade tobacco ratio (α=0.05) were significantly higher than CK; T3 yield (α=0.05) was significantly higher than CK; T1 medium grade tobacco ratio (α=0.01) was significantly higher than CK. On the whole, the economic traits of T2 flue-cured tobacco was the best, followed by T3 and T1, and CK was the worst. The study found that the continuous ploughing depth of 25-30 cm can improve soil physical properties, reduce the occurrence of root-knot nematode disease, promote the growth and development of tobacco plants, and improve the yield and quality of tobacco.

    The aims of this study were to reveal the appropriate mode for water-potassium coupling of flue-cured tobacco in Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou province. Three irrigation rates: 0.50 L/plant(W1), 1.00 L/plant(W1) and 2.00 L/plant(W3), and three potassium fertilizer rates:135 kg/ha(K1), 270 kg/ha(K2) and 405 kg/ha(K3) were set in this field plot experiment, resulting in a total of nine treatments. The effects of different potassium application rate and water irrigation rate coupling treatments on the growth of flue-cured tobacco, yield and quality of tobacco leaf were studied. Different water and fertilizer amounts significantly or extremely significant influenced the plant height, maximum leaf area, stem girth and root volume, and interaction effect existed between water and fertilizer amounts. Water and fertilizer amounts significantly influenced total sugar, reduced sugar, alkaloid, total nitrogen, potassium and chloride contents in tobacco leaves(C3F grade), the smoking quality and appearance quality of flue-cured tobacco leaf increased with the increase of irrigation rate and K rate, and interaction effect existed between them.Water and fertilizer rate significantly influenced tobacco yield, and interaction effect existed between them. Considering all above, when irrigation water quantity was 1.00-2.00 L/plant, K application rate was 270 kg/ha (W2K2 and W3K2), the growth of tobacco plant, yield and quality of tobacco leaves were improved. Linear fitting revealed a positive relationship between plant height, root volume and yield of tobacco leaves within a certain range. When irrigation rate was 1.00-2.00 L per plant, K application rate was 270 kg/ha, water-potassium coupling treatment had a good effect in promoting tobacco plant growth, increasing yield and improving quality of tobacco leaves in tobacco-planting in Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou province. From the view of obtaining high yield and saving water and fertilizer, W2K2(1.00 L/plant, 270 kg/ha)and W3K2(2.00 L/plant, 270 kg/ha)treatment can be used as an appropriate combination under the present experimental conditions.

    In order to clarify the decomposing characteristics of different rates of tobacco straw and their effects on rice yield. In this study, one field experiment was conducted. Then, the decomposition rates of tobacco straw and rice yield among different treatments were analyzed. Meanwhile, the quantitative relationship between the external input of carbon and nitrogen ratio and rice yield was discussed. The results showed that: the decomposing characteristics of the tobacco straw in all treatments were fast in the early stage and slow in the late stage. At the 5th day, the amount of decomposed tobacco and the average daily decomposing amount were reached the maximum, which were 0.87 g and 0.29 g/d, respectively. The cumulative decomposing rate of tobacco straw also showed a similar trend, and the cumulative decomposing rate of tobacco straw in the whole rice season was 42.31%. However, there was not significant different for the total and daily decomposed amount of tobacco straw among all treatments, but the cumulative decomposing rate of the semi-returning treatment was higher than the equivalent and 1.5 times returning. The correlation between the input of carbon-nitrogen ratio and rice yield could be fitted by the quadratic curve equation. Moreover, it indicated that the reasonable input of carbon-nitrogen ratio was 10.1, and the corresponding maximum yield of rice was 10.4 t/ha. Therefore, in the rotation of tobacco and rice, the reasonable carbon-nitrogen ratio input was one key pattern to improve rice yield, although the characteristics of decomposing under different amounts of tobacco straw was similar.

    In order to set up the basic theory for rational fertilization technology of tobacco in Southern Anhui Province,we analyzed the changes of agronomic characters,dry matter accumulation,nutrient absorption and fertilizer use efficiency of flue-cured tobacco under different nitrogen and potassium fertilizer application rates. The result showed that high nitrogen fertilizer rate caused the increment of plant height,leaf number,leaf length and leaf width of tobacco at different positions. The dry matter accumulation in different organs and the ratio of shoot to root also increased with the increase of nitrogen application rate. The increase of nitrogen fertilizer rate also increased the nitrogen and potassium accumulation in roots,stems and leaves. The amount of nitrogen fertilizer was positively correlated with the whole plant nitrogen concentration,and had significantly positive correlation with the total nitrogen and potassium accumulation. With the increase of nitrogen fertilizer amount,the utilization rate of nitrogen fertilizer did not change significantly,but the agronomic efficiency and partial productivity of nitrogen fertilizer increased significantly. The increase of potassium fertilizer had no significant effect on the agronomic traits of flue-cured tobacco. High potassium fertilizer rate caused the increment of nitrogen concentration in roots,and potassium concentration in stems and leaves,but the dry matter accumulation and nutrition accumulation in different organs were not influenced by potassium fertilizer rate. The amount of potassium fertilizer was only positively correlated with the whole plant potassium concentration. The utilization rate of potassium fertilizer was relatively low among the treatments. Among the treatments with the lowest application rate of potassium fertilizer,the utilization rate of potassium fertilizer,the agronomic efficiency and partial productivity of potassium fertilizer were the highest. In the experiment,the dry matter accumulation and the nutrition accumulation in whole plant,and the nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency increased significantly with the increment of nitrogen application rate. Applying nitrogen fertilizer had obvious effect on the increase of yield. With the increase of potassium fertilizer,there was no significant change in dry matter accumulation and nutrient accumulation. According to the results of leaf potassium concentration and the potassium fertilizer use efficiency,the potassium application rate should be reduced in Southern Anhui Province.

    Under the optimization of C/N with organic fertilizer and N fertilizer, a field experiment was carried out to study the effect of potassium and the ratio of basic/dressing fertilizer on biomass, potassium uptake, soil available potassium content and aroma quality of tobacco. Split-plot experiment design was adopted. The main treatment was 3 K level:K1 (120.0 kg/ha),K2 (240.0 kg/ha) and K3 (360.0 kg/ha);and the subsidiary treatment was the ratio of basic/dressing K fertilizer:S1(7:3),S2(5:5) and S3(3:7). The results showed that the biomass of tobacco leaves increased with the increase of potassium application, while it decreased with the increase of potassium dressing ratio in the same K level in the fast growth and mature period. Under the K2 and K3 level, the leaf potassium content was lower in the S1 treatment than in S2 and S3 treatments, indicating that the increase of K dressing percentage was conducive to the transfer of potassium ions from lower leaves to middle and upper leaves. With the increase of potassium application, the content of available and slowly available potassium in rhizosphere soil increased. Under K2 level, the available potassium of soil reached to maximum at fast growth and bud stages, and was lower in S3 treatment than in S1 and S2 treatments at mature stage. Under K3 level, the available potassium in rhizosphere soil had no significant difference among the four growth stages, in which that of S3 treatment > S1 treatment > S2 treatment. Compared with other treatments, the contents of total nitrogen, total nicotine and protein in tobacco leaves were significantly higher in S3 treatment under K2 level, and the ratio of sugar/alkali and ratio of nitrogen/alkali were improved. The neutral aroma components had no significant difference in upper leaves under K1 level, but it improved significantly in S3 treatment under K2 and K3 levels, especially for S3 treatment under the K2 level, in which the quality, quantity and concentration of aroma in tobacco leaves were the best. It was concluded that under the optimization conditions of organic fertilizer C/N, 240.0 kg/ha potassium fertilizer was recommended in the sand mud soil of Southern China, and the basic fertilizer was 72.0 kg/ha and the dressing one was 168.0 kg/ha (the ratio of base to dressing was 3:7), which could effectively improve the potassium content and quality of tobacco leaves.

    The current agricultural cultivation is highly dependent on chemical fertilizers,resulting in the deterioration of the micro-ecological environment of the soil. In order to improve the biological characteristics of the soil and fertility, The effects of green manure (an annual) as green manure or chemical fertilizer on the activities of invertase,urease,phosphatase and catalase in flue-cured tobacco soil were studied. The results showed that the activity of four enzymes could be significantly increased by overturning of grass rhinoceros,and the soil enzyme activity increased with the increase of the amount of green manure. Compared with the blank control (CK2),the third batch of grass rhinoceros (overturned on September 18 with a biomass of 32 180 kg/ha) had the largest increase in enzyme activity,with the maximum increase being:sucrase June 48.4%,91.5% for urease in April,72.4% for phosphatase in August,and 51.6% for catalase in October. In the treatment of green manure and chemical fertilizers,the treatment of green manure + chemical fertilizer was higher than that of the control (CK1,only chemical fertilizer), the effect of the third batch of overturning green manure plus conventional fertilization on soil enzyme activity was better than that of green manure plus 30% nitrogen reduction, The first batch (turnover on August 3,biomass was 19 350 kg/ha) and the second batch (biomass,22 930 kg/ha on August 18) were overturned.The different of soil enzyme activity between green manure+conventional fertilization and green manure+nitrogen reduction 30% was not significant,and urease and phosphatase were particularly prominent. The characteristics of the dynamic changes of enzymes in different growth stages of tobacco plants were as follows:soil sucrase,urease,and phosphatase in all treatments with overturn green manure green manure,and chemical fertilizers all peaked in the long-term (June) peak. Catalase A peak appeared in the early stage (August) of tobacco leaf harvest. The above results indicated that the soil metabolism was very active after the rhizome was pressed,which was conducive to the nutrient transformation of the soil and provides the necessary nutrition for the normal growth of the flue-cured tobacco.

    The HKT protein family is mainly involved in controlling the absorption of K+ and the selective transport of K+/Na+, which plays an important role in improving the stress resistance of plants.In order to study the relationship between the tissue expression level of AtHKT1 and salt tolerance of plants,the homology of HKT proteins,the expression of AtHKT1 gene and the cis-acting elements of AtHKT1 promoter were analyzed and predicted using bioinformatics techniques. On the basis,the AtHKT1 promoter was introduced into Nicotiana benthamiana. GUS staining results were used to analyze the tissue expression level of AtHKT1 gene in Nicotiana benthamiana. The results of bioinformatics analysis showed that Arabidopsis thaliana and wheat were located in different evolutionary branches and their genetic relationship was far, suggesting that the function of AtHKT1 might be different from the corresponding protein in wheat. AtHKT1 gene was abundantly expressed in many organs and tissues of Arabidopsis thaliana, especially in leaves, roots and flowers, which confirmed that AtHKT1 gene was likely to have important physiological functions. The AtHKT1 promoter might be a stress-responsive promoter containing a number of important elements that responded to environmental stress. Therefore, the expression of AtHKT1 gene was likely to be regulated by environmental stress. Results of GUS staining showed that the coloration of leaves,vascular system,roots and flowers of the seedlings with pHKT1-gus was deeper,further confirming that the expression level of AtHKT1 in these regions was high. The above results indicated that the regulation of AtHKT1 gene expression was conducive to the translocation of Na+,thereby regulating the salt tolerance of plants.In addition, there might be other unknown features that further increase the complexity of AtHKT1 functionality. At present, the mechanism of K+ and Na+ transport of HKT proteins is not clear. The expression level of AtHKT1 gene in Nicotiana benthamiana was analyzed to provide reference for further understanding the action mechanism of AtHKT1 gene.

The root length,surface area,plant height,stem girth, node spacing and LAI of the grafted tobacco plants showed a decreasing trend,the content of proline continued to increase in both grafted seedlings and non-grafted seedlings with the aggravation of drought stress when tobacco leaves were turning to mature, whereas, the SPAD readings, SOD activities, CAT activities and POD activities all demonstrated a decreasing trend. The speed of decreasing in different root grafted was slower than that in own root grafted. Compared with KRK26/K326 and KRK26/KRK26, KRK26/Anyan 2 had greater parameters under drought stress, but the SPAD readings did not have significant difference. All the results showed that less damage was made to KRK26/Anyan 2 than KRK26/K326 and KRK26/KRK26 under drought stress, and KRK26/KRK26 suffered the most serious damage. According to correlation analysis, there was a certain correlation between morphological indexes and resistance indexes of grafting flue-cured tobacco. In conclusion, there were obvious differences among grafted tobacco in physiological characteristics, and there response to soil drought. The order of drought resistance was KRK26/Anyan 2, KRK26/K326 and KRK26/KRK26 in turn from strong to weak, based on the main root morphology,plant morphology,physiological characteristics under drought stress.

    2C protein phosphatase (PP2C) is a key component in the ABA signal transduction pathway and plays a pivotal role in plant growth and development,cell cycle regulation and adaptation to adversity stresses.To explore the function of the PP2C gene in tobacco adaptation to abiotic stress,a PP2C homologous gene was cloned from the tobacco cultivar K326,which contained a 1 617 bp ORF encoding 538 amino acid. The homology analysis showed that the gene had high homology with PP2C16 of Nicotiana tomentosiformis. So it was named NtPP2C16. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the NtPP2C16 catalytic region had 11 structural sub-regions which were relatively conservative in the PP2C family evolution. qRT-PCR analysis revealed that the expression of this gene was significantly induced by ABA and H2O2 signal molecules,and responded to drought,high salt,low temperature and low potassium stresses. NtPP2C16-pBI121 overexpression vector was constructed successfully,the results provided some basis for analysis of NtPP2C16 responsing to abiotic stresses in tobacco.

    To explore the effect of different leaf age on the yield and quality of flue-cured tobacco,the main cultivars K236 in Luoping tobacco-growing area of Yunnan were used as test materials to construct different flue-cured tobacco varieties with different leaf age. Photosynthetic potential in growth period and economic characters of post-baked tobacco leaf were analyzed. The results showed that with the increase of transplanting age,the survival rate of tobacco seedlings increased first and then decreased,while the field growth period increased; With the advance of fertility in the field of flue-cured tobacco,the photosynthetic potential (LAD) of the treatments decreased first and then increased,and the total LAD of the treatments was the highest in 5 leaves transplanted tobacco seedlings,which was 20.14% higher than that of 6 and 8 leaves respectively,14.82%. The mean leaf angle (MLIA) of the population increased first and then decreased with the increase of leaf age,while the extinction coefficient (K)was an increasing trend.The leaf tobacco leaves with 5 leaves were transplanted with appropriate chemical components and the quality was the best,followed by 4 leaves;6,7,8 leaves,because of its reducing sugar,starch,potassium content does not meet the requirements of high-quality tobacco chemical indicators,poor quality;With the increase of transplanting age,economic traits showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing. Therefore,the optimum tobacco leaf transplanting age of tobacco leaves in Luoping tobacco-producing areas in Yunnan is 5-leaf-stage,which can shorten the period of nursery and shorten the time of cutting and reduce the time when the high yield value can be maintained. Such as smoke and the proportion of medium and high smoke,improve the grade structure and site structure.

    In order to reveal mechanism of internal injury on leaves under transplanting stage for flue-cured tobacco seedling. The changes of chlorophyll fluorescence kinetics curve of young and mature leaves were studied under high light and low temperature environment transferred from the weak light and mildness greenhouse through the methods of artificial simulation.The results showed that photosynthetic performance index (PIABS) in young leaves was lower significantly than that of mature leaves and the maximum photochemical efficiency of PS Ⅱ (Fv/Fm) was lower than that of mature leaves, but the difference between them was not significant.Especially, under the environment of high light and low temperature, the parameters of Fv/Fm and PIABS of young leaves reduction were significantly higher than the mature leaves, which indicated that young leaves were more likely to occuring inhibition phenomenon under high light and low temperature. The relative variable fluorescence (VJ and VI) in young leaves were significantly higher than that of mature leaves, which suggested that electron transfer rate in PS Ⅱ receptor side of young leaves were significantly lower than the mature leaves. Under high lights and low-temperature, the increasing extend of VJ were significantly greater than mature leaves, the inhibition of electrons transfer from QA to QB in PS Ⅱreceptor under high light and low temperature.VI increased amplitude of young leaves were relatively smaller than mature leaves under high light and low temperature, which indicated that the effects of electrons transfer from QB to PQ in young leaves were fewer under high light and low temperature, the electron transfer blocked sites in young leaves were still QA to QB transfer process. The relative variable fluorescence (VK and VL) of young leaves were significantly higher than that of mature leaves, under high light and low temperature, the values of VK and VL of young leaves raise were significantly higher than the mature leaves, which indicated that damaged degree in young leaves were more serious than mature leaves, which showed that high light and low temperature led to more damaged for oxygen evolving complex and thylakoid membrane structure in young leaves. Conclusion, damaged degree of young leaves PS Ⅱ function under high light and low temperature stress in transplanting stage were bigger than the mature leaf, which were relevant with photochemical activity, electron transfer rate and OEC in young seedlings leaves were sensitive to high light and low temperature.

    In order to reveal the mechanism of tobacco leaf light energy utilization and photoprotective systems in aluminum (Al)-induced reactive oxygen species metabolism, two different Al-tolerant tobacco cultivars Yunyan 100 (Al-tolerant) and Yunyan 105 (Al-sensitive) were used to study effects of four Al concentrations (0, 50, 100, 200 μmol/L) on plant growth, reactive oxygen content, photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics, photorespiration, activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) in leaves of tobacco cultivar with solution culture method. The results showed that increasing Al concentrations significantly decreased the leaf chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate (Pn), maximal photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm),quantum yield of electron transport at PS Ⅱ (ΦPS Ⅱ) and coefficient of photochemical quenching (qP), increased excess energy of PS Ⅱ photochemistry leading to higher accumulation of leaf O2· and H2O2, and lower plant biomass, especially in Yunyan 105. With the Al concentrations increased from 0 to 200 μmol/L, the coefficient of non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), photorespiration rate, and activities of SOD and APX were promoted firstly and then reduced again. Compared with Al-sensitive cv. Yunyan 105, Al-tolerant cv. Yunyan 100 remained higher leaf ΦPS Ⅱ, qP, NPQ, photorespiration rate, and activities of SOD and APX under different Al concentrations. These results indicated that tobacco could enhance the tolerance to Al stress by increasing photochemical reaction capacity, heat dissipation, photorespiration and activities of antioxidative enzymes in order to decrease excess energy of PS Ⅱ photochemistry, which prevents or eliminates reactive oxygen accumulation under the low Al concentration.

    In order to measure the effect and action mechanism of cadmium(Cd) on the photosynthetic characteristics in the leaves of flue-cured tobacco,flue-cured tobacco was cultured in a solution containing different concentrations of Cd. The effects of Cd stress on the chlorophyll content,photosynthetic gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in the flue-cured tobacco leaves were investigated. The results showed that the chlorophyll content in the flue-cured tobacco leaves declined as the Cd concentration increased. The chlorophyll a content,in particular,was reduced to a much greater extent than chlorophyll b content. The photosynthetic capacity in the leaves of flue-cured tobacco was reduced mainly associated with the stomatal conductance until the Cd concentration reached 75 μmol/L. But,when Cd concentration reached 100 mol/L,the cause of flue-cured tobacco leaf photosynthetic capacity decreased to were the stomatal and non stomatal factors common restrictions. The non-photochemical queching(NPQ) and the quantum yield of light-dependent and ΔpH-and xanthophyll-mediated regulated thermal dissipation(YNPQ) was increased below the 50 μmol/L Cd,that means the flue-cured tobacco leaf was mainly by increasing non-radiative energy dissipation mechanisms by xanthophyll cycle to reduce the flue cured tobacco in excess excitation energy,but with the further increase of Cd concentration,NPQ and YNPQ was reduced,which leads to the excess light energy(1-qP)/NPQ,the quantum yield or flux of thermal dissipation in non-functional PSⅡ and the degree of photoinhibition of PSⅡ reaction center increased dramatically,at this point,the heat dissipation and the reaction center inactivation was the major photoprotective mechanisms in leaves of flue-cured tobacco to defense the Cd poisoning. This study would provide some basic data for seeking Cd-resistant mechanism of tobacco.
