Free amino acids in different Lotus species

J. Przybylska, B. Chwałek

Abstract


Studies on free amino acid pools in various organs of different Lotus species showed mature seeds to be distinguished by a high concentration of canavanine and by the presence of γ-glutamyltyrosine and γ-glutamylphenylalanine. In seeds of L. helleri and L. purshianus homoarginine has been found which is interesting as the occurrence of this amino acid seemed to be restricted to the genus Lathyrus.
