Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the role of the NtAN3 gene in regulating leaf size in tobacco using the NC82 variety, focusing on the implications for enhancing athletic performance through plant-based dietary innovations. Methods: We developed overexpression (G27) and silencing (M21) mutants of the NtAN3 gene. The mutants were analyzed for their impact on leaf size through cell morphology observation and transcriptome analysis. Results: The research provides insights into how NtAN3 gene modifications affect leaf morphology, potentially influencing tobacco crop yield and quality. Conclusion: Understanding the genetic regulation of leaf size in tobacco can inform molecular breeding strategies to optimize plant-based components in athletes' diets, enhancing performance and recovery.
