“…Lupinus polyphyllus Lindl known as the Washington lupin (WL), (Waller and Nowacki 1978) is a widely occurring toxic perennial legume containing various alkaloids of the quinolizidine group. The content of quinolizidine alkaloids and other antimetabolic substances in plants is genetically determined (von Sengbusch 1942;Harrison 1980;Harrison and Williams 1982). The alkaloid-poor (' sweet ') phenotypes of L polyphylZus are used in breeding programmes (Voronov 1974;Keeler and Gross 1980) and a detailed knowledge of lupin alkaloids exists (Karlsson and Peter 1978;Wink et a1 1982;Wink 1987aWink , 1991MeiBner and Wink 1992).…”

An alkaloid-poor line of Washington lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus Lindl var SF/TA) was developed in an experiment started in 1982. The nutritive quality (alkaloid content, protein and amino acids, fat and fatty acids, macro-and micronutrients, fibre, sugars) yields, and seed quality of this line were studied. The results show that the total alkaloid content was low and varied in different seeds from 226 pg g-' to 366 pg g-' of dry matter. The main alkaloid was lupanine, but 16 other alkaloids (including sparteine and gramine) were also present. The var SF/TA cannot yet be used for human nutrition without processing although it would be a valuable protein crop. The results confirm that seeds which look different also vary in chemical composition.

“…According to Harrison and Williams (1982) the wild forms of L. albus contain a high level of quinolizidine alkaloids in seeds-up to 2.2% of the seed dry weight (DW), whereas cultivars with the gene reducing alkaloid content: pauper, possess 0.02-0.05% of the seed DW. Like other lupin crops L. albus plant architecture is adapted to modern cropping technologies (Górynow-icz et al 2014).…”

“…At least five loci controlling alkaloid content are present in L. albus (Harrison and Williams 1982) and the one with pauper gene is the most effective in reducing alkaloid content and thus most frequently used in breeding (Lin et al 2009). Cultivars possessing pauper gene contain 0.02-0.05% alkaloids of the seed DW (Harrison and Williams 1982;Ś więcicki et al 2015) with following qualitative composition of major alkaloids (abundance [1%): lupanine-70%, albine-15%, 13-hydroxylupanine-8%, and multiflorine-3% (Wink et al 1995).…”

White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) has unexploited potential as a crop plant due to its high seed yield as well as protein and oil content in seeds. Wellcharacterized collections of gene resources are very important for breeding as a source of genetic variation. This paper presents the results of analyses for total content and qualitative composition of alkaloids in seeds of 367 L. albus accessions from the Polish Genebank. Accessions were divided into four classes of origin: wild collected material, land races, breeding lines, and cultivars. Apart from the expected broad variation as well as strong differentiation in the alkaloid content, a clear influence of domestication was observed. This was shown as an apparent decrease in the alkaloid content in breeding lines and cultivars classes. The total alkaloid content varies from 0.02 to 12.73% of the seed dry weight. Six major alkaloids (abundance [1%) were revealed: lupanine (28.22-94.49%, mean 76.06% in total content), 13-hydroxylupanine (0.10-32.78%, mean 8.23%), multiflorine (0.00-21.67%, mean 5.52%), albine (0.00-18.55%, mean 4.48%), angustifoline (0.24-12.14%, mean 2.07%), 11,12-seco-12,13-didehydromultiflorine (0.00-12.28%, mean 1.74%). Owing to its abundance, lupanine was found to be the most closely correlated to the total alkaloid content.

Genetical control of alkaloid production in Lupinus mutabilis and the effect of a mutant allele Mutal isolated following chemical mutagenesis

Lupinus mutabilis, alkaloid, genetics, mutal, new mutant allele . SUMMARY A new mutant allele, described here as mutal, which reduces the alkaloid content in dry matter of lupinus mutabilis has been identified following seed treatment with ethyl methane sulphanate . The allele, when homozygous, reduces the alkaloid content from levels of > 2 .0 per cent found in seed dry matter of existing populations to 0 .2-0 .3 per cent and produces plants with vegetative and seed tissues that are organolepticallỳ sweet' . Component alkaloids in plants homozygous for mural differ in respect of the percentage composition of sparteine and of lupanine, as well as possibly of oxa-sparteine and 4-hydroxylupanine, but none is eliminated in genotypes homozygous for the mutant allele . Alkaloid concentration, in so far as not under the control of mutal, has low heritability but lines were isolated following two generations of successive selection which possessed reduced alkaloid levels . These were interpreted to have arisen as a result of recombination of alleles affecting reduction in alkaloid level at several loci . the mutant, mutal, has been established in a pure breeding line which represents a crucial additional step in the evolution of Lupinus mutabilis towards full status as a crop plant .
