Abstract
Tobacco is a plant from the Solanaceae family, characterized by specific chemical and morphological properties that vary based
on the species and qpe of tobacco. Nicotine, one of the significant alkaloids present inthe Nicotiana tabacLrm species, notablv
sets this plant apart as an industrial crop Aom others within the same family.
Eight wild tobacco species were examined'. N. rustica, N. alata, N. longi/lora, N. petttnia hibrida, N. repanda, N. glzttinosa, N,
miersii, ar'd N. undulate. Tneir vaiues were compared with the cultivated species ,Al tabacum (P 23 variety).
The goal of the study was to analyze the chemical and morphological characteristics of wild tobacco species compared with
the cultivated species l{ tabacttm (P 23 variety). The obtained data will contribute to the further selection. The acquired findines
conceming the levels of nicotine, proteins, and soluble sugars are as foliows: ranging from i.53% nicotine, 8.77% proteins,
and25.12o/o soiuble sugars in the cultivated N. tabacum species (P 23 vartely) to 0.01% nicotine in the N. pehtniahibrida
species, along with II.44% proteins and 1.59%o soLuble sugars in the M repanda species.
The data from morphological measurements were statistically methods with the following parameters: standard error of the
mean (a.r-), standard deviation (o) and coefficient of variation (CV%).
Chemical property analyses of tobacco were conducted-in the accredited laboratory in the Department of Technoiogy and
Chemistry of Tobacco and Tobacco Products, following intemationally recognized methods.
Keywords: family, genus, species, tobacco, wild species.
