Since the advancements of plant genetic engineering in the 1980s, plants have been used for the production of economically valuable, biologically active non-native proteins or biopharmaceuticals, the concept termed as plant molecular farming (PMF). PMF is considered as a cost-effective technology that has grown and advanced tremendously over the past two decades. The development and improvement of the transient expression system has significantly reduced the protein production timeline and greatly improved the protein yield in plants. The major factors that drive the plant-based platform towards potential competitors for the conventional expression system are cost-effectiveness, scalability, flexibility, versatility, and robustness of the system. Many biopharmaceuticals including recombinant vaccine antigens, monoclonal antibodies, and other commercially viable proteins are produced in plants, some of which are in the pre-clinical and clinical pipeline.

  • Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017 How the Act Affects: Tobacconists
    Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017 How the Act Affects: Tobacconists The Basics The Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017 prohibits the smoking of tobacco, the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) to vape any substance, and the smoking of cannabis (medical and recreational) in enclosed workplaces and enclosed public places, as well as other designated places in Ontario, to protect workers and the public from second- hand smoke and vapour. Smoking refers to the smoking or holding of lighted tobacco or cannabis (medical or recreational). Vaping refers to inhaling or exhaling vapour from an electronic cigarette or holding an activated electronic cigarette, whether or not the vapour contains nicotine. Tobacconists A tobacconist is a business registered with the local Board of Health that primarily sells specialty tobacco products. This includes tobacco products and accessories (e.g., cigars, pipes, humidors), but does not include cigarettes. Sales and Inventory A retailer can register as a tobacconist with the local Board of Health if specialty tobacco products account for at least 85 per cent of its total sales in the previous year. If the retailer has been in operation for less than a year, at least 85 per cent of the retailer’s total inventory purchases or sales during that time period must relate to specialty tobacco products. The remaining up to 15 per cent of the store’s revenues or inventory would have to be from cigarettes or other items reasonably associated with a tobacco product or branded with the name of the tobacconist or a brand of tobacco. Exemption for Tobacconists Display A registered tobacconist is permitted to display and promote specialty tobacco products, including heat-not-burn products, if the following conditions are met: 1 1.

  • Youth Bidi, Kretek, Or Pipe Tobacco Use
    2013 Florida Youth Tobacco Survey: Fact Sheet 10 Youth Bidi, Kretek, or Pipe Tobacco Use Introduction The Florida Youth Tobacco Survey (FYTS) was administered in the spring of 2013 to 6,440 middle school students and 6,175 high school students in 172 public schools throughout the state. The overall survey response rate for middle schools was 83%, and the overall survey response rate for high schools was 75%. The FYTS has been conduct- ed annually since 1998. The data presented in this fact sheet are weighted to represent the entire population of public middle and high school students in Florida. About Bidis, Kreteks, and Pipe Tobacco Bidis are small brown cigarettes from India consisting of tobacco wrapped in a leaf tied together with a thread. Bidis have higher levels of nicotine, carbon monoxide, and tar than traditional cigarettes. Kreteks are cigarettes containing tobacco and clove extract. In 2009, the Food and Drug Administration banned kreteks, along with flavored cigarettes, from being sold in the United States. Pipe tobacco comes either plain or flavored and is smoked through a pipe. On previous FYTS fact sheets, bidis, kreteks, and pipe tobacco have been Figure 1.

(Aztec tobacco) is the only Nicotiana species, except common tobacco (N. tabacum L.), which is cultivated for tobacco products. The leaves of N. rustica, however, accumulate various specialized metabolites of potential interest. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evalu- ate certain classes of metabolites (by HPLC and GC-MS) in the leaves, the essential oil (EO), concrete and resinoid of N. rustica. Three pentacyclic triterpenes were identified in the leaves (by HPLC): betulin (252.78 µg g−1), betulinic (182.53 µg g−1) and oleanolic (69.44 µg g−1) acids. The dominant free phen- olic acids in the leaves (by HPLC) were rosmarinic (4257.38 µg g−1) and chlorogenic (1714.40 µg g−1), and conjugated forms of vanillic (3445.71 µg g−1), sinapic (1963.11 µg g−1) and syringic (1784.96 µg g−1).

  • Study on Analytical Characteristics of Nicotiana Tabacum L., Cv. Solaris
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Study on analytical characteristics of Nicotiana tabacum L., cv. Solaris biomass for potential uses in nutrition and biomethane production Antonella Fatica 1*, Francesco Di Lucia2, Stefano Marino1, Arturo Alvino1, Massimo Zuin3, Hayo De Feijter2, Boudewijn Brandt2, Sergio Tommasini2, Francesco Fantuz4 & Elisabetta Salimei 1 In order to limit the smoking tobacco sector crisis, a new non-GMO Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Solaris was proposed as oil seed crop. Residues of oil extraction were successfully used in swine nutrition. The aim of this study was to explore the full potential of this innovative tobacco cultivar as multitasking feedstock non interfering with the food chain. In the triennium 2016–2018, samples from whole plant, inforescence and stem-leaf biomass were collected in three experimental sites and analysed for chemical constituents, including fbre fractions, sugars and starch, macro-minerals and total alkaloids. The KOH soluble protein content and the amino-acid profle were also investigated as well as the biochemical methane potential. All the analyses were performed according to ofcial methods and results were compared with values reported in literature for conventional lignocellulosic crops and agro-industry residues. The average protein content, ranging from 16.01 to 18.98 g 100 g−1 dry matter respectively for stem-leaf and whole plant samples, and their amino-acid profle are consistent with values reported for standard grass plant. These fndings suggest the potential use of cv. Solaris in industrial food formulations. Moreover, considering the average content of both fbre available for fermentations (72.6% of Neutral Detergent Fibre) and oils and fats (7.92 g 100 g−1 dry matter), the whole plant biomass of cv.
