Alkaloid distribution in two species of Lupinus in central British Columbia

Sparteine, β-isosparteine and multiflorine were the major alkaloids in a population of Lupinus arcticus subsp. subalpinus while ammodendrine, 5,6-dehydrolupanine, lupanine and anagyrine were the major alkaloids in L. polyphyllus. The alkaloid composition intergraded in a zone of contact between the...

More Information
Summary:Sparteine, β-isosparteine and multiflorine were the major alkaloids in a population of Lupinus arcticus subsp. subalpinus while ammodendrine, 5,6-dehydrolupanine, lupanine and anagyrine were the major alkaloids in L. polyphyllus. The alkaloid composition intergraded in a zone of contact between the two species of Lupinus. Concentrations of anagyrine and ammodendrine were sufficient to cause teratogenicity.
