First Report of Colletotrichum lupini on Lupinus hartwegii and L. mutabilis

Quinolizidine alkaloid profiles of Lupinus varius orientalis, L. albus albus, L. hartwegii, and L. densiflorus.

Alkaloid profiles of two Lupinus species growing naturally in Egypt (L. albus albus [synonym L. termis], L. varius orientalis) in addition to two New World species (L. hartwegii, L. densiflorus) which were cultivated in Egypt were studied by capillary GLC and GLC-mass spectrometry with respect to quinolizidine alkaloids. Altogether 44 quinolizidine, bipiperidyl and proto-indole alkaloids were i...

In March 2011, anthracnose symptoms were observed on stems of Dracaena sanderiana as imported ornamental plant in Gorgan, Golestan province (NE Iran). According to the Farr et al. (2006) the pathogenic fungus were identified as Colletotrichum dracaenophilum D.F. Farr & M.E. Palm. 

Lipid and protein accumulation in developing seeds of three lupine species: Lupinus luteus L., Lupinus albus L., and Lupinus mutabilis Sweet

A comparative study was carried out on the dynamics of lipid accumulation in developing seeds of three lupine species. Lupine seeds differ in lipid content; yellow lupine (Lupinus luteus L.) seeds contain about 6%, white lupine (Lupinus albus L.) 7-14%, and Andean lupine (Lupinus mutabilis Sweet) about 20% of lipids by dry mass. Cotyledons from developing seeds were isolated and cultured in vit...

First Report of Colletotrichum fructicola as the causal agent of Anthracnose on Common Bean and Cowpea

Anticholinergic toxicity in a one-year-old male following ingestion of Lupinus mutabilis seeds: case report.

CONTEXT The seeds from Lupinus mutabilis Sweet, also called "chocho", are an important part of the diet in several countries in South America. Prior to consumption, processing is required to remove toxic alkaloids. These alkaloids are known to have pharmacological properties as antiarrhythmics, antimuscarinics and hypoglycemics. CASE REPORT We report a case in which a one-year-old male initia...
