Abstract:

Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is the most abundant polyphenolic compound in tobacco leaves, playing a crucial role in tobacco growth and development as well as cigarette smoke quality. It can serve as a key indicator to evaluate tobacco leaf quality. The biosynthesis and regulation mechanisms of CGA in tobacco have long been the focus of attention among tobacco researchers, while studies on the biological activities of CGA have also extended to fields including medicine, healthcare, and food science. This paper comprehensively reviewed the synthesis pathway, biological activities, and applications of CGA in tobacco, along with the factors influencing CGA biosynthesis in tobacco and the key enzyme genes involved in its synthesis pathway. The aim of this review was to provide a theoretical foundation for the in-depth research, development, and application of CGA metabolic regulation and biological activities in tobacco and other plants.

Key words: tobacco, chlorogenic acid, metabolic regulation, biological activity

摘要:

绿原酸(chlorogenic acid,CGA)是烟叶中含量最多的多酚类物质,在烟草生长发育、烟气质量等方面发挥重要作用,可作为衡量烟叶品质的重要指标。CGA在烟草中的生物合成与调控机制一直是烟草科研工作者关注的焦点,对CGA生物活性方面的研究也已经深入到医药、保健、食品等领域。对烟草中CGA的合成途径、生物活性以及应用、影响烟草中CGA生物合成的因素以及合成途径中的关键酶基因进行了详细综述,以期为烟草等植物中CGA代谢调控及生物活性的深入研究和开发应用提供理论基础。
