Lupinus elegans

L. angustifolius and is, like sparteine, probably found in all lupine species in different concentrations, from main compounds to mere traces. Lupanine is the main alkaloid in the seeds of Lupinus rotundiflorus, Lupinus exaltatus and Lupinus mexicanus. It has been discovered in considerable amounts in Lupinus mon-tanus and Lupinus madrensis, but only traces were noted in Lupinus elegans. Moreover, lupanine occurs in Cytisus scoparius and Leontice eversmannif-. ...

Genetic formulas of crosses of Lupinus arboreus with L, hartwegi or L, elegans with L. hartwegi. ss—sparteine-synthesizing form LL—lupanine-synthesizing form L L — lupanine-synthesizing form with lower efficiency. Schematic chromatograms correspond to the respective genotypes (Nowacki et al., 1966).
