Biosynthesis of lupanine from lysine and other labeled compounds

The biosynthesis of lupanine in Lupinus angustifolius has been studied by feeding lysine, ζ-aminovaleric acid, pipecolic acid, ornithine and formic acid specifically labeled with C 14. Lysine-2-C 14, of all of these possible precursors, supplied the greatest quantity of C 14 to lupanine.
