varieties are in good agreement with those for the Swedish varieties, except in the case of lysine, where our values are slightly lower than those reported by Eklund and Agren (1975).Generally plant proteins are deficient in methionine, having less than 2 g/100 g of protein (Van Etten et al., 1967). However, poppy seeds have a higher content which is comparable with the FAO Reference Pattern for this essential amino acid. Thus poppy seed should be good adjunct to vegetable proteins to enhance their nutritive value. ACKNOWLEDGMENTWe thank Mr. Sitar am, Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad, for help in amino acid analysis. LITERATURE CITEDAOAC "Official Methods of Analysis", 11th ed.

Rotenone and deguelin were determined by thinlayer densitometry in seven varieties of Tephrosia vogelii. The leaflets contained more deguelin than rotenone; the reverse was generally found in the petioles, stems, and roots. One variety contained deguelin but no rotenone.
