Seeds of Lespedeza sericea were surface sterilized by soaking in Captan (1 g/1) 1 h, 35% Clorox for 20 min, and washing with IN HCI and water. For quantitation of components in Lespedeza roots, seeds were sown on moistened filter paper in plastic Petri dishes.

The haustoria of the parasites do not form when the plants are grown axenically, but are rapidly induced in the presence of the host roots or host root exudates (17). Several haustorial-inducing compounds have now been characterized. Xenognosin A and B were identified in gum tragacanth, an exudate of Astragalus gummifer. and soyasapogenol B was identified in roots of Lespedeza sericea.

David Bransby (personal communication, October, 2002) recommended seven potential energy crops (mimosa, sericea, kudzu, arunzo, switchgrass, velvet bean, and castor) as candidates for the extraction of high-value products based on crop yields and largely anecdotal medicinal information.
