Tobacco Plant

Scientists set out to mimic the natural production of cocaine in Nicotiana benthamiana, which occurs in the leaves of the Erythroxylum coca plant.

A longtime Russian business associate of American tobacco giant Philip Morris International Inc - a billionaire whose holdings have included a major stake in a weapons plant supplying Russia's military - has been sanctioned in Europe.

A team from the University of Western Ontario and Lawson Health Research Institute in Canada used tobacco plants to produce large quantities of a human protein called Interleukin 37, or IL-37 -- naturally produced in the human kidney in very small quantities.

India's biggest cigarette maker ITC Ltd shut its plants from May 4 to comply with a new stipulated pictorial warnings rule issued by the federal government, the company said in a statement.

ITC Ltd, India's biggest cigarette maker, said it would resume production at its factories "consequent upon" a favourable court order, two weeks after it decided to shutter its plants over the government's stringent new packaging rules.

ITC manufactures a range of cigarette brands, including India Kings, Classic, Gold Flake, Navy Cut, Capstan, Bristol, Flake, Silk Cut, which are manufactured at plants in Bengaluru, Munger, Saharanpur, Kolkata and Pune.

The beverage maker, which operates 57 factories and bottling plants across India, said a proposal to group sugary sodas with higher-taxed luxury cars and tobacco would hurt demand for its drinks.

A plant geneticist discovered a useful gene in the ancient Australian native tobacco plant Nicotiana benthamiana.

The state government has proposed a hike in VAT on tobacco products from 15% to 17% in its proposal today.
