Usually people only know Nicotiana tabacum, also known as tobacco smoking as the main raw material, and certainly many consider this leaves only have a negative effect.
Because of this ignorance, we often hear some demos of tobacco farmers when the government announced a reduction or anti-smoking cigarettes.
But actually there are several other benefits of this leaf, 9 following one:
1. Generate Anti-Cancer Protein
Tobacco is not always a negative connotation as a trigger cancer, it turns out the plants that can also produce proteins and anti-cancer properties that are beneficial for cancer patients, say researchers from the Research Center of Biotechnology Institute of Sciences LIPI (Indonesian), Dr. Arief Budi Witarto MEng, such as taken Antara.
"The protein made by the DNA of our bodies, we enter the DNA in question to tobacco through bacteria, once inside, this plant will make a corresponding protein DNA is inserted. When the plants were harvested, we can liquid form of the protein, "he said.
In addition to the anticancer proteins, GSCF, he said, may be to stimulate the multiplication of stem cells (StemCell) that can be developed to restore the function of body tissue that has been damaged.
Preventing oral cancer ra * him: Tobacco contains a source of protein that can stimulate antibodies to the human papilloma virus (HPV), which triggers cervical cancer.
2. Removing the leech bites
Benefits of tobacco, but can be extracted and taken specific part like nik * otin used in a wide range of products either food or beverages, tobacco can also be used to remove the leech bite that again in the forest, tobacco can also be used for insecticides because nik * otin that there is a very potent neurotoxin to insects. Insects die .... pantes only if humans can die because of it.
3. Drugs Diabetes & Detection
The scientists succeeded in taking tobacco by means of genetically modified to produce drugs and immune diabetes. The research results were published in the journal BMC Biotechnology, early March.
4. Anti-Inflammation
Scientists from several European research institutions participate in the project stubs "Pharma-Planta" that led Professor Mario Pezzotti of the University of Verona. They create transgenic tobacco that produce interleukin-10 (IL-10), called the anti-inflammatory cytokine that is potent. Cytokines are proteins that stimulate immune cells that several active.
The genetic code (DNA) encoding IL-10 were planted in tobacco, and tobacco will produce the protein. They tried two different versions of IL-10 are different. One of the virus, other than mice. Some researchers found that tobacco could produce two forms of IL-10 was appropriately. Active cytokine production is quite high, which may be used through the process of extraction and purification.
The next step, IL-10 tobacco was given to mice to study how effective it turn on immunity. Research using IL-10 tobacco in small doses could help prevent diabetes or diabetes mellitus type 1 Diabetes mellitus type 1 or juvenile diabetes is characterized by loss of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Until there is a shortage of insulin in the body. This type of diabetes can be suffered by children or adults.
5. Drugs HIV / AIDS
Tobacco can also produce medicinal proteins of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS, called griffithsin. HIV is a virus that infects cells of the human immune system. The difference is, instead of the tobacco that produces the protein, but the virus tobacco.
6. Animal Health Maintainer
Extract of tobacco (nicotine 1, 68%) has ptensi to eradicate H. contortus worms. As a result healing results would give an advantage to some livestock keepers, because it is getting better animal health.
7. Removal Dew
Tobacco can also be used to eliminate the "dew" on the glass in the car on a rainy day through rubbing tobacco on the glass.
8. Drug Luka
Used to cure wounds ± 25 g of fresh leaves of Nicotiana tabacum, washed and pounded until pulverized. plus kerosene ± 25 ml squeezed and filtered. The filter is applied to the wound.
9. As Biofuel
More recently, researchers from Thomas Jefferson University Biotechnology Laboratory has identified several techniques for increasing the dose of vegetable oil in tobacco plant leaves, it is the first step in utilizing these plants for biofuel purposes. The results of their research and published in the Plant Biotechnology Journal.
According to Vyacheslav Andrianov, Ph. D., assistant professor of Cancer Biology at the Lab. Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University, tobacco can produce biofuels more effective than other agricultural products. However, most of the oil is only found in the seeds / seed tobacco (about 40% of oil per dry weight).
Although the vegetable oil content of tobacco seeds have been tested and can be used as fuel for diesel engines, but the tobacco crop seed production is still very low, about 600 kg of seeds per hectare. Dr. Andrianov and his colleagues then sought to manipulate the genes of tobacco seed vegetable oil is that the formation of vegetable oil in tobacco plant canopy optimal oil content of seed tobacco. ngurangin could be an alternative energy global warming.
