Elevated quinolizidine alkaloid content in grains of sweet narrow‐leaved lupins when intercropped with oats

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Narrow‐leaved lupins (NLL, Lupinus angustifolius L.) is recognized as a climate‐resilient protein crop but its use in food and feed is frequently limited by toxic quinolizidine alkaloids (QAs). The effect of intercropping with spring oat (Avena sativa L.) on grain QA content has not yet been quantified.
