2results about How to "Lower nicotine levels" patented technology

This invention discloses Aspergillus terreus Aspergillus terreus Applications for reducing nicotine content. Specifically, these applications include Aspergillus terreus. Aspergillus terreus This invention relates to the method for reducing nicotine content in tobacco raw materials, tobacco waste, or tobacco processing byproducts. The method is characterized by high degradation efficiency, mild conditions, and environmental friendliness, providing a new and effective tool for biologically reducing nicotine content in tobacco leaves. It shows promising application prospects in improving tobacco quality and reducing harmful substances and tar content.

This invention belongs to the field of plant genetic engineering technology, specifically relating to a tobacco nicotine synthesis regulatory gene NtbHLH25 and its encoded tobacco nicotine synthesis regulatory protein NtbHLH25, and further disclosing its applications. This invention cloned a novel transcription factor gene, NtbHLH25, from cultivated tobacco and studied its role in tobacco synthesis. Nicotine detection in genetic material showed that lines with reduced NtbHLH25 gene expression had significantly lower nicotine content in tobacco leaves. The nicotine synthesis regulatory gene NtbHLH25 and its encoded protein NtbHLH25 identified in this invention are associated with nicotine accumulation in tobacco, providing new genetic targets and technical means for the regulation and application of tobacco nicotine content, and have significant application value in tobacco nicotine regulation.
