The invention belongs to the field of
tobacco leaf baking, and provides a method for improving the baking resistance of tobacco leaves by utilizing exogenous
methyl jasmonate, which comprises the following steps of: diluting
methyl jasmonate to a constant volume to a specified concentration, storing under a low-temperature sealed dark condition after the
methyl jasmonate mother liquor is prepared, and after the color of the tobacco leaves is changed from dark green to yellow green, taking out the tobacco leaves. When main veins become bright and leaves show obvious mature spots, harvesting is carried out, the exogenous methyl
jasmonate solution is sprayed immediately from the mature period of tobacco leaves to the harvesting period, it is guaranteed that the leaf surfaces of the tobacco leaves are completely covered with
fog beads and do not flow down in strands, the tobacco leaves are moved into a closed and windproof dark box, and the
browning state of the tobacco leaves is observed once every specified time interval; according to the method, the used methyl
jasmonate can enhance the
antioxidant enzyme activity of the tobacco leaves, reduce the accumulation of
active oxygen and reduce
oxidative damage from the source, and
browning of the tobacco leaves is delayed by reducing
membrane lipid peroxidation, maintaining the integrity of
cell membranes and slowing down water loss.
