This invention is related to a protein from the seeds, cotyledons or plantlets of Lupinus genus, as well as to the way of producing the protein in recombinant form and of expressing the protein in genetically modified plants. The invention relates to methods of its use, or of any modification of the protein that maintains its biological properties, as a supplement in human or animal nutrition and as a fungicide, insecticide, growth promoter, fertilizer or in the preparation of genetically modified organisms.
