Abstract

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is a plant grown for leaves. Leaves are dried and fermented to use in tobacco products. Oriental tobacco is widely consumed in the world due to its good aroma qualities. For this, different chemical and quality properties of Oriental tobacco lines, which have undergone small changes over time, have been examined. The samples (27 lines and 1 variety (Xanthi 2A)) obtained from tobacco lines grown in three different locations (Bagpinar, Evciler and Yenice) in Tokat and Canakkale were used in this study. Quality index, nicotine, glucose, fructose, chlorogenic acid and rutin amounts were determined to investigate the effect of geographical environment on tobacco lines. Chemical analyzes were performed using high performance liquid chromatography. The data obtained from the chromatographic analyzes and quality index were evaluated by using principal component analysis. These three different locations were generally separated and clustered. Due to its geographical locations, genotypes better adapted in the Bagpinar location
