topics (OpenAlex): Plant nutrient uptake and metabolism; Plant Disease Resistance and Genetics; Plant Molecular Biology Research
TL;DR: Results indicate that complex changes in the transcriptome of tobacco can be manifested by altered expression of Yb 1, and metabolic pathways affecting carbon and nitrogen metabolism that might be altered as the result of genetic variability at the Yb1 and Yb2 loci. (via Semantic Scholar)

2022 article

Analyses of diverse low alkaloid tobacco germplasm identify naturally occurring nucleotide variability contributing to reduced leaf nicotine accumulation

Burner, N., McCauley, A., Pramod, S., Frederick, J., Steede, T., Kernodle, S. P., & Lewis, R. S. (2022, January 1). Molecular Breeding, Vol. 42.

By: N. Burner  n, A. McCauley n, S. Pramod *, J. Frederick *, T. Steede n, S. Kernodle n, R. Lewis n 

author keywords: Nicotiana tabacum; Tobacco; Nicotine alkaloids; Transcription factors; QTL mapping
topics (OpenAlex): Genetic Mapping and Diversity in Plants and Animals; Genetics and Plant Breeding; Genetic and Environmental Crop Studies
TL;DR: P phenotyped a series of 81 selected diverse tobacco introductions to identify a sub-group with authentic low alkaloid phenotypes and found a newly discovered 5 bp deletion in the gene MYC2a on linkage group 5 was found to likely partially underlie the ultra-low alkaloids phenotype of TI 313.
