Narrative
MAFC 5 is a flue-cured tobacco breeding line with an intermediate level of total alkaloids, which is also resistant to black shank and bacterial wilt. Total alkaloid content of the cured leaf averages 1.97% on a dry weight basis and consists primarily of nicotine since the line does not convert nicotine to nornicotine. MAFC 5 was developed by backcrossing a low alkaloid line to NC 95 and selection of low alkaloid plants in F2 generation. After the fifth backcross lines were self-pollinated and selections made in the F2 generation for varying levels of total alkaloids. MAFC 5 was selected for an intermediate alkaloid level and advanced to the F7 generation at time of release. (Chaplin. 1986. Crop Sci 26:214)
