The new burley tobacco variety, KB 301, was developed by the cross combination ’(Ky 17 x TI 1068)F$_4$ x TC 613’. The modified pedigree breeding method was used in the selection procedures. The agronomic traits and chemical constituents of KB 301 were very similar to those of Burley 21. But KB 301 had significantly higher content of total DVT than Burley 21. KB 301 was also resistant to black shank, TMV and PVY.
