In cigar tobacco, light and temperature are fundamental regulators of leaf development and carbon allocation, yet their combined effects on secondary vein lignification and vascular architecture remain poorly understood. This study investigated how contrasting light and temperature regimes regulate secondary vein development and lignification by integrating anatomical, metabolomic, and transcriptomic analyses. Plants were grown under four regimes combining high or low light (HL/LL) with high or low temperature (HT/LT): HLHT (600 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹, 30°C), LLHT (300 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹, 30°C), HLLT (600 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹, 20°C), and LLLT (300 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹, 20°C). Among these treatments, LLHT most strongly suppressed vascular development, reducing secondary vein diameter by 3–12% and lignin content by 22–26% relative to the other treatments. This response was accompanied by reduced accumulation of monolignol precursors and declines in phytohormones associated with growth and lignification (cytokinin, jasmonate, and salicylic acid), alongside elevated ethylene precursor (ACC). Dissociation between L-phenylalanine availability and monolignol production under LLHT indicated that phenylpropanoid flux suppression occurs at post-entry enzymatic steps rather than through substrate limitation. Time-resolved transcriptomic analysis revealed progressive repression of phenylpropanoid and lignin biosynthetic genes under LLHT, whereas low temperature (LT) partially alleviated the inhibitory effects of low light (LL). WGCNA identified contrasting lignification-associated modules, including a positively correlated module containing COMT, SUS, ARR-A, and IAGLU genes, linked to carbon allocation and hormone-associated secondary wall reinforcement; and a negatively correlated module containing TMK, PYL, grxC, and EREBP genes, associated with signaling and stress-related processes, and activated under LLHT. Collectively, these findings show that combined light and temperature regimes drive coordinated metabolic and transcriptional reprogramming underlying vascular lignification and secondary vein plasticity in cigar tobacco.
Shading is a common agronomic practice in cigar tobacco cultivation to improve wrapper leaf quality, yet its morphological and molecular effects across different cultivars remain underexplored. This study investigated morphological traits, sugar metabolism, and transcriptomic responses in three cigar tobacco cultivars (HN2, HY101, and HY103) under two treatments: no shading (NST) and shading (ST, 50–60% transparency). Morphological analysis revealed that shading reduced leaf thickness in HY103 without compromising chlorophyll content or structural integrity, traits desirable for wrapper leaf quality. Biochemical assays showed increased sucrose and total soluble sugars, particularly in HY103, along with elevated activities of sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) and soluble starch synthase (SSS) enzymes. Transcriptome profiling and Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) identified three key gene modules responsive to shading. The lightgreen module, enriched in nitrogen metabolism and signal transduction genes, displayed genotype-specific expression patterns. The midnightblue module, containing photosynthesis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) related genes, was highly expressed in HY103 under shading, indicating enhanced oxidative stress resilience and photosynthetic flexibility. The brown module was enriched in transcriptional regulators, potentially modulating leaf morphology. Together, these results demonstrate that HY103 employs a coordinated structural and molecular strategy to adapt to shaded environments, providing a basis for optimizing shade cultivation and breeding shade-tolerant cigar tobacco.
Integrated fertilization combining conventional chemicals with organic amendments and microbial inoculants offers a promising strategy to improve soil health, plant morphology, and leaf quality in intensive tobacco cultivation. A field experiment was conducted in Ruili, Yunnan, China, comparing six integrated treatments (M1–M6), each combining conventional fertilizer with an organic amendment (rapeseed cake, biochar, or amino acid fertilizer) and a microbial inoculant (Pseudomonas fluorescens or Purpureocillium lilacinum), against a conventional control (CK). Integrated treatments significantly altered soil physicochemical properties, with available phosphorus peaking in M4 (173mg/kg) and available potassium reaching twofold above CK in M2 (551mg/kg). Leaf morphology and macronutrient status responded accordingly: M2 and M3 had higher leaf length, width, and dry weight, while M4 elevated leaf potassium content. M3 showed the highest chemical composition and visual appearance quality scores. Integrated treatments significantly restructured rhizosphere bacterial and fungal communities (R² = 0.43 and 0.54, respectively). Redundancy analysis identified soil organic matter and available potassium as principal drivers of bacterial community variation, whereas available phosphorus and hydrolyzable nitrogen were the principal drivers of fungal community variation. Co-occurrence network analysis identified four functional microbial modules; Module 4, enriched in Talaromyces, Clostridium, and Candidatus_Solibacter, was the strongest predictor of chemical composition (random forest R² = 0.224) and visual appearance quality (R² = 0.11). Soil organic matter was in turn the strongest predictor of Module 4 abundance itself (R2 = 0.339). Partial least squares path modeling revealed a five-step causal cascade; fertilization → soil properties → microbial community → leaf morphology and nutrients → leaf quality, suggesting that integrated fertilization improves tobacco quality through a soil-microbiome-plant-mediated pathway. These findings provide a microbiome-informed framework centered on the mixed organic fertilizer + Pseudomonas fluorescens combination (M3), the best-performing treatment for sustainable, quality-focused cigar tobacco production in Yunnan Province.
Flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), a key economic crop in China, is highly dependent on nitrogen (N) management. This study evaluated the effects of multi-split N application via drip irrigation on tobacco growth, N accumulation, and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). A randomized experiment was conducted with 10 treatments (T0-T9) in K326 tobacco grown in nutrient-rich brown soil. The treatments differed in terms of N application timing and proportions. T2 and T3, which applied N twice post-transplant, led to the highest dry weight accumulation in roots, stems, and leaves, with T3 resulting in a 65.8
The intensity of light alters leaf morphology and structure by regulating cell proliferation and expansion. However, the mechanisms through which changes in light intensity affect the critical developmental stages of cigar tobacco leaf tissue remain unclear. This study investigates the impact of light intensity variation on leaf tissue structure, hormone levels, photosynthetic capacity, differential metabolic processes, and hormone signaling pathways. The transition to strong light promotes the accumulation of auxin, gibberellin, and cytokinin, accelerating the thickening process of leaf tissues and increasing the thickness of the upper epidermis, palisade tissue, and spongy tissue. Furthermore, intensified light significantly enhances stomatal conductance, intracellular CO2 concentration, and transpiration rate, consequently boosting net photosynthetic rate, and altering the photosynthesis-light response curve by lowering the light compensation point and increasing the light saturation point. Comparative transcriptomic profiling revealed that differentially expressed genes orchestrate light-responsive leaf development through hierarchical regulation of phytohormone signaling pathways and photosynthetic efficiency. Key hormone-related pathways were identified, alongside upregulation of photosynthesis-associated LHCA4, LUCB3, and LHCB6. This study provides novel insights into the physiological, anatomical, and molecular responses of cigar tobacco leaves to variations in light intensity, contributes to a deeper understanding of light-regulated leaf development and offers a foundation for optimizing cultivation practices to increase cigar wrapper quality.
Shading or low light is a key agronomic practice affecting the growth, physiology, and quality of cigar tobacco wrapper leaves, yet the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying shading responses remain poorly characterized. This study investigated the physiological, transcriptomic, and agronomic responses of the cultivar QX103 under three light regimes: full light (CT), moderate shading (MT, 70–80 % transmittance), and heavy shading (LT, 50–60 % transmittance). Shading significantly enhanced wrapper yield (LT>MT>CT), with moderate shading promoting optimal plant height, leaf expansion, SPAD values, and photosynthetic efficiency. Transcriptome analysis revealed distinct gene expression changes, with MT upregulating AMY, UGP2, TREH, WAXY, and SPS genes to enhance starch degradation and sucrose synthesis, whereas LT upregulated TPS, GN1_2_3, and ISA, indicating starch catabolism under low light. Circadian genes (PRR5, CO, CDF1) were activated under MT, while LT disrupted clock entrainment (TOC1, LHY, CRY1/2, COP1). Hormone profiling validated that MT enhanced ICAId and TZR, supporting growth, whereas, LT increased IAA, GA1, GA7, and IPA while reducing SAG, DHJA, and SA, indicating stress. qRT-PCR confirmed that MT promoted primary metabolism, while LT altered hormonal profiles driving a shade-avoidance-like response mediated by altered IAA/GA and JA/SA dynamics. Collectively, these results demonstrate that moderate shading balances growth, metabolism, and stress responses, improving wrapper leaf quality and yield, providing a mechanistic basis for precision shading in cigar tobacco cultivation.
Cigar tobacco stands as a pivotal economic crop, with its leaf growth and development profoundly influenced by light intensity. Present study specifically aimed to investigate how leaf morphology and anticlinal growth responds to varying light intensities, including normal light intensity (NL–300 µmol m− 2 s− 1) and lower light intensity (LL–100 µmol m− 2 s− 1). The research elucidates significant morphological shifts in cigar tobacco leaves under LL, revealing significant alterations in leaf area, leaf length, and leaf width. Early reductions in leaf dimensions, ranging from 30 to 48
Furrow and ridge rainwater harvesting farming technology can improve the utilization efficiency of natural precipitation, regulate soil water and heat conditions, promote crop growth and development, increase yield and improve farmland micro-ecology. In China’s arid and semi-arid regions, it has gradually grown and become the primary water-saving irrigation method. The paper briefly introduced the development process,principle, and application effects of rain-harvesting technology. Based on the previous research progress, the technical problems and further in-deep research contents in the application of furrow and ridge harvesting tillage technology in flue-cured tobacco production were put forward. It provides the basis and technical reference for the popularization and application of rain-harvesting technology in Shandong tobacco-growing area.
Low light (LL) resulting in shading are among the detrimental abiotic stresses limiting plant growth and suppressing crop productivity. Shading is a key cultivation technique in cigar wrapper tobacco production but little is known about its impact on transcriptional and translational regulatory networks. Here, we integrate transcriptomic and proteomic profiling with physio-biochemical and anatomical analyses under different light intensities [T200 (200 μmol m−2 s−1), T100 (100 μmol m−2 s−1), and T50 (50 μmol m−2 s−1)] to uncover the underlying molecular response mechanisms of tobacco plants. We found that the leaf anatomical structure impacts photosynthetic capacity and that LL intensities (particularly T50) decrease leaf and palisade thickness (42%) and spongy tissues (16%), which leads to a lower photosynthetic rate (84%) compared with T200. Furthermore, we identified 3045 and 590 significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the transcriptome and proteome of cigar tobacco, respectively. A total of 110 pairs were correlated which were upregulated in photosynthesis-antenna proteins, photosynthesis, and defense/detoxification-related pathways, according to integrated omics analyses, and downregulated in tyrosine metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism, mitochondrial electron transport chain, and glycolysis pathways; and associated with decreased activities of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (31%), starch phosphorylase (25%), and pyruvate kinase (24%) enzymes related to glycolysis. Our results show that cigar tobacco efficiently utilizes low light to reconfigure its energy metabolism, and offer profound insights into the response mechanisms at the physio-biochemical, anatomical, and molecular levels. This study thus represents a valuable resource of genes and proteins for future functional studies underlying LL response.
Drought is one of the foremost environmental factors that limit the growth of plants. Leaf thickness (LT) is an important quantitative trait in plant physiology. The experiment was carried out in a growth room and the plants were divided into two groups such as well-watered and drought-stressed. This work investigated leaf growth in terms of leaf surface growth and expansion rate, leaf stomata traits, LT, anticlinal growth, and leaf cell layers. The results showed that the leaf area and leaf surface expansion rate were decreased by drought stress (DS). Similarly, LT, anticlinal expansion rate, palisade and spongy tissue thickness, and their related expansion rates were also decreased at different days’ time points (DTP) of DS. However, a steady increase was observed in the aforementioned parameters after 12 DTP of DS. The stomatal density increased while stomata size decreased at 3 DTP and 12 DTP (low leaf water potential and relative leaf water content at these time points) and vice versa at 24 DTP compared with the well-watered plants indicating adaptations in these traits in response to DS, and thus the leaf water status played a role in the regulation of leaf stomata traits. The cell length decreased in the upper epidermis, palisade and spongy tissues by DS up to 12 DTP led to lower LT while an increase was observed after 12 DTP that resulted in higher LT. The increase in the LT was supported by the upregulation of starch and sucrose metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum pathways at 18 DTP along with the differentially expressed genes induced that were related to cell wall remodeling (cellulose, expansin, xyloglucans) and cell expansion (auxin response factors and aquaporin). The results explain the response of leaf thickness to drought stress and show alterations in LT and leaf stomatal traits. This study might serve as a valuable source of gene information for functional studies and provide a theoretical basis to understand leaf growth in terms of leaf anatomy and leaf stomatal traits under drought stress.
Drought stress is a major abiotic stress that hinders plant growth and development. Brassinosteroids (BR), including 2,4-epibrassinolide (EBR), play important roles in plant growth, development, and responses to abiotic stresses, including drought stress. This work investigates exogenous EBR application roles in improving drought tolerance in tobacco. Tobacco plants were divided into three groups: WW (well-watered), DS (drought stress), and DSB (drought stress + 0.05 mM EBR). The results revealed that DS decreased the leaf thickness (LT), whereas EBR application upregulated genes related to cell expansion, which were induced by the BR (DWF4, HERK2, and BZR1) and IAA (ARF9, ARF6, PIN1, SAUR19, and ABP1) signaling pathway. This promoted LT by 28%, increasing plant adaptation. Furthermore, EBR application improved SOD (22%), POD (11%), and CAT (5%) enzyme activities and their related genes expression (FeSOD, POD, and CAT) along with a higher accumulation of osmoregulatory substances such as proline (29%) and soluble sugars (14%) under DS and conferred drought tolerance. Finally, EBR application augmented the auxin (IAA) (21%) and brassinolide (131%) contents and upregulated genes related to drought tolerance induced by the BR (BRL3 and BZR2) and IAA (YUCCA6, SAUR32, and IAA26) signaling pathways. These results suggest that it could play an important role in improving mechanisms of drought tolerance in tobacco.

Drought stress hinders the growth and development of crop plants and ultimately its productivity. It is expected that drought stress will be frequent and intense in the future due to drastic changes in the global climate. It is necessary to make crop plants more resilient to drought stress through various techniques; drought-hardening is one of them. Defining various metabolic strategies used by tobacco plants to confer drought tolerance will be important for maintaining plant physiological functions, but studies addressing this topic are limited. This study was designed to elucidate the drought tolerance and adaptation strategies used by tobacco plants via the application of different circular drought-hardening cycles (control: no drought-hardening, T1: one cycle of drought hardening, T2: two cycles of drought-hardening, and T3: three cycles of drought-hardening) to two tobacco varieties namely Honghuadajinyuan (H) and Yun Yan-100 (Y). The results revealed that drought-hardening decreased the fresh and dry biomass of the tobacco plants. The decrease was more pronounced in the T3 treatment for both H (23 and 29%, respectively) and Y (26 and 31%, respectively) under drought stress. The MDA contents, especially in T1 and T2 in both varieties, were statistically similar compared with control under drought stress. Similarly, higher POD, APX, and GR activities were observed, especially in T3, and elevated amounts of AsA and GSH were also observed among the different circular drought-hardening treatments under drought stress. Thus circular drought-hardening mitigated the oxidative damage by increasing the antioxidant enzyme activities and elevated the content of antioxidant substances, a key metabolic strategy under drought stress. Similarly, another important plant metabolic strategy is the osmotic adjustment. Different circular drought-hardening treatments improved the accumulation of proline and soluble sugars contents which contributed to osmoregulation. Finally, at the molecular level, circular drought-hardening improved the transcript levels of antioxidant enzyme-related genes (CAT, APX1, and GR2), proline and polyamines biosynthesis-related genes (P5CS1 and ADC2), and ABA signaling (SnRK2), and transcription factors (AREB1 and WRKY6) in response to drought stress. As a result, circular drought-hardening (T2 and T3 treatments) promoted tolerance to water stress via affecting the anti-oxidative capacity, osmotic adjustment, and regulation of gene expression in tobacco.
