Impact of nicotine pathway downregulation on polyamine biosynthesis and leaf ripening in tobacco

Greta Noelke et al.

Summary: The unbalanced crosstalk between nicotine and polyamine pathways affects leaf ripening in low-alkaloid tobacco, with transgenic tobacco lines showing delayed leaf maturation and impaired leaf quality. Treatment with polyamine biosynthesis inhibitors decreased polyamine content and ameliorated the phenotype, highlighting the intricate interplay of polyamine and nicotine biosynthesis in tobacco.
