Identification of a new QTL associated to reduced quinolizidine alkaloid content in white lupin (Lupinus albus, L.) and development of ultra-low alkaloid recombinants by stacking with the pauper allele

Abstract excerpt

White lupin (Lupinus albus, L.) is a grain legume cultivated for its high agronomic and nutritional potential, despite the accumulation of bitter and potentially harmful to health quinolizidine alkaloids (QA) in the grain. Modern sweet (i.e. low alkaloid content) varieties exist, which are exploiting different recessive mutations responsible for the desired low QA chemotype. The most widely used QA-reducing...
