Solanesol, which accumulates predominantly in the leaves of tobacco plants, has medically important bioactive properties. To investigate the genetic basis of solanesol in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), the solanesol contents of 222 accessions, 206 individuals from an N. tabacum Maryland609 (low-solane...
