Abstract:Shading is a conventional cultivation method in crop production. However, the effects of shading on photosynthesis and metabolism of cigar leaves remain unclear. Here, the effects of shading on tobacco photosynthesis characteristics and metabolome were studied by setting light transmittance of 100%, 90%, 80%, 70% and 60%. The soluble sugar concentration and soluble protein concentration of cigar leaves at 70% and 60% shading treatments increased by 149.18% and 117.98%, and 174.48% and 195.91%, respectively, co… Show more
