Alkaloids of narrow-leaved lupine as a factor determining alternative ways of the crop’s utilization and breeding by M. A. Vishnyakova, A. V. Kushnareva, T. V. Shelenga, G. P. Egorova

“…At the same time, it is rational to create highly alkaloid (bitter) varieties for green manure, while food and feed varieties should not lose their adaptive potential, in particular, resistance to pathogens, due to the elimination of alkaloids. In this regard, it seems to be a productive idea to create ‘bitter/sweet’ varieties combining a high content of alkaloids in the vegetative organs and low in seeds, which can be achieved by regulating the synthesis/transport of alkaloids in the plant. …”
