Genetic Engineering of Nicotiana tabacum for Reduced Nornicotine Content

Nornicotine is an undesirable secondary alkaloid in cultivated tobacco, because it serves as a precursor to N‘-nitrosonornicotine (NNN), a tobacco-specific nitrosamine with suspected carcinogenic properties. Nornicotine is produced through the oxidative N-demethylation of nicotine by a nicotine N-de...
