Release of the variety Ultra marks the first commercial cultivation in Australia of the Mediterranean white lupin, Lupinus albus. Unlike pre­ vious commercial lupin varieties in Australia, all of which belong to species only recently domesticated, Ultra belongs to a lupin species with a long history of cultivation.

Sweet, crop forms such as Ultra were not selected until the 1930's; or if selected, they were lost again. Reference has been made to the finding of L. albus seeds in Egyptian tombs of the 12th Dynasty (about 2,000 B.C.), but according to Han- elt*, who has studied the subject thoroughly, the species was not present in Egypt until about the start of the Christian era. At that time it was already well established in Roman agriculture and had been cultivated in Greece for at least several hundred years. However, Hanelt also cites literary evidence of Low (1881) that lupins were men­ tioned on Assyrian cunieform tablets, and that they had probably been imported into Babylon. The Greek word for the species was "thermos", which means hot, perhaps in reference to the extreme bitterness of the seeds. All names for it throughout the Middle East appear to be derived from this, for example termis in Egypt, turmus in Arabic and in India, turmusa in Aramaic, and Furmesa in Syrian.

Temperate-adapted perennial grain legumes, though currently non-existent, might be uniquely situated as crop plants able to provide relief from reliance on synthetic nitrogen while supplying stable yields of highly nutritious seeds in low-input agricultural ecosystems. As such, perennial grain legume breeding and domestication programs are being initiated at The Land Institute (Salina, KS, USA) and elsewhere. This review aims to facilitate the development of those programs by providing criteria for evaluating potential species and in choosing candidates most likely to be domesticated and adopted as herbaceous, perennial, temperate-adapted grain legumes. We outline specific morphological and ecophysiological traits that may influence each candidate’s agronomic potential, the quality of its seeds and the ecosystem services it can provide.

  • A New Cultivar of White Lupin with Determined Bushy Growth Habit, Sweet Grain and High Protein Content
    SCIENTIFIC NOTE 577 PECOSA-BAER: A NEW CULTIVAR OF WHITE LUPIN WITH DETERMINED BUSHY GROWTH HABIT, SWEET GRAIN AND HIGH PROTEIN CONTENT Erik von Baer1*, Ingrid von Baer1, and Ricardo Riegel2 ABSTRACT The expansion of white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) cultivation in Chile is subject to the availability of cultivars presenting high yield potential, tolerance to the main fungal diseases and homogeneous ripening. In response to these requirements, a new cultivar has been developed and registered as ‘Liapec-1’, commercially registered as ‘Pecosa-Baer’. This new cultivar has determined bushy growth habit. Its flowering period is concentrated in approximately 40 days, less than the 77 days of cv. Rumbo-Baer. This trait allows it to reach harvest without heterogeneity problems. The seed is speckled, flat and medium-sized (370 g/1000 grains aprox.). The kernels are sweet and have a high protein content of around 41% (dry matter basis). In field assays, ‘Pecosa-Baer’ presents a good tolerance to diseases caused by Colletotrichum lupini and Pleiochaeta setosa. The new cultivar has outstanding stability and yield levels, even under low fertilization conditions. An average yield of 5.43 t ha-1 was obtained over four seasons in two locations. In order to maximize its yield, ‘Pecosa-Baer’ must be sown between April and June at a rate of 140-160 kg ha-1. Given the high protein content and low alkaloid levels of the seeds, they can be included in the diet of all types of animals. Key words: Lupinus albus, cultivar, Colletotrichum, Pleiochaeta.

Present study was conducted to investigate the possibility of infection of Lupinus albus (Lupine) with Bean yellow mosaic virus. Virus isolate was identified by detection of the coat protein gene amplified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and also via Chenopodium Amaranticolor as a diagnostic host plant. Results showed that infection can be induced under greenhouse conditions and infected plants showed a considerable level of mosaic symptoms. As disease development in infected plants is always associated with physiological and chemical changes, some metabolic alterations parameters have been evaluated like photosynthetic pigment contents, total carbohydrate content, total soluble protein, total protein, total free amino acid, proline induction, total phenolics, salicylic acid, and abscisic acid content in healthy and infected lupine plants. Results showed a great variation in all the biochemical categories in Lupinus albus infected with bean yellow mosaic virus as compared to healthy plants.

(2017): White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) – nutritional and health values in human nutrition – a review. Czech J. Food Sci., 35: 95–105. White lupin seeds have been used in human nutrition and treatment for several thousand years. Nowadays the use of white lupin seeds is limited by a small scale of their production. However, in the last 20 years quite new properties of white lupin have been discovered for the application in the production of different kinds of functional food. Unique traits of protein, fatty acids with a desirable ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 acids, and fibre as well as other specific components, for example oligosaccharides and antioxidants or non-starch carbohydrates, make white lupin an excel- lent component in many healthy diets. The effects of white lupin components concern the physiological condition of the human body, including diabetes, hypertension, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, lipid concentration, glycaemia, appetite, insulin resistance, and colorectal cancer. Seeds are used among others for the production of gluten-free flour, bacterial and fungal fermented products, noodle and pasta products, as substitutes of meat, egg protein and sausages, also are cooked, roasted and ground and mixed with cereal flour in the production of bread, crisps and pasta, crisps and dietary dishes. Keywords: health benefits; chemical composition; effects on human health Many researchers state that the use of lupin seeds value as a result of removing soluble proteins, free for consumption and medicinal purposes has been amino acids, carbohydrates, and minerals.

Email: [email protected] REVIEW ARTICLE ABSTRACT: Lupinus albus L. is usually cultivated for its edible seeds. In Egypt it is frequent an escape from cultivation in Nile Delta and Oases of the Libyan Desert. Lupin has a tap root system, the main root reaches depth of 1-2 m which bears nodules formed by Bradyrhizobium for nitrogen fixation. Lupinus albus adapts to phosphorus (P) deficiency with a highly coordinated modification of root development and biochemistry resulting in short, densely clustered secondary roots called proteoid or cluster that release vast amounts of phosphate- mobilizing carboxylates capable of making poorly available nutrients more available.. It has the ability of accessing sparingly available P, as well as being able to symbiotically fixation of N2, thus it would provide Lupinus species possess ideal combination of traits to act as ecosystem engineers. This plant was important to many Mediterranean civilizations and was domesticated in the old world and new world. It is known to have been cultivated since ancient times in Greece, Italy, Egypt and Cyprus. It has unique traits of protein, low starch, and contains alkaloids that provide the plant a chemical defense against herbivores. It adapts best in well-drained, mildly acid or neutral soils of light to medium texture.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the amount of raffinose-series oligosaccharides (RSO) in soybean meal (SBM), whole white lupin seed meal (WLM), sunflower meal (SFM), and rapeseed oil meal (ROM) and to determine whether partial or complete dietary WLM replacement affected the numbers of bacteria in selected groups in the microbiota of broiler chickens and ducks without inducing any weight loss. Total counts of anaerobes, lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, andEscherichia coli in caecal samples from both ducks and broiler chickens, as well as in a crop chyme, in broiler chickens, were determined. Live weights before slaughter were determined. Both broiler chickens and ducks were fed a control diet with SBM (L0) or diet containing 50% or 100% WLM as a substitute for SBM (groups L50 and L100, respectively).

  • 6 Lupins in European Cropping Systems
    ©CAB International 2017 – for chapter 6 authors 6 Lupins in European Cropping Systems FABIO GRESTA,1* MICHAEL WINK,2 UDO PRINS,3 MICHAEL ABBERTON,4 JESSICA CAPRARO,5 ALESSIO SCARAFONI5 AND GEORGE HILL6 1Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria, Reggio Calabria, Italy; 2Institute of Pharmacy and Molecular Biotechnology, Heidelberg University, Germany; 3Louis Bolk Institute, Driebergen, the Netherlands; 4Genetic Resources Centre, International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Nigeria; 5University of Milan, Italy; 6Lincoln University, New Zealand Abstract The lupins are an interesting group of legume crop species that produce large seeds containing up to 40% protein. The genus Lupinus is part of the tribe Genisteae. More than 170 species have been described from the New World and only 12 species from Europe, North and East Africa. Wild lupins are bitter and toxic because they produce quinolizidine alkaloids as a means of chemical defence. During domestication, lupins with low alkaloid contents were selected, leading to ‘sweet’ lupins with alkaloid con- tents below 0.02% in the protein-rich seeds, which can be used both for human and animal consumption. The domesticated lupins include Lupinus angustifolius, Lupinus albus, Lupinus luteus and Lupinus mutabilis. Blue or narrow-leafed lupin (L. angustifolius) is the most widely cultivated of them, with a worldwide production of more than 1.3 million t. Several challenges remain for lupin breeding, including the improvement of quantitative and qualitative traits, adaptation to alkaline soil and resistance to fungal pathogens. Introduction and Taxonomy Lupin species from the Americas are mostly herbaceous perennials, whereas Old World lupins are generally annuals. All of them host symbiotic nitrogen- fixing Bradyrhizobium in root nodules (Sprent and McKey, 1994).
