Comparison of Yield and Important Seed Quality Traits of Selected Legume Species
Agronomy, 2022 Legumes are of great economic importance. Depending on the species, they are cultivated for food, fodder, green manure, and even as ornamentals. Legume seeds contain many valuable nutrients and also anti-nutritional substances. The aim of the study is to

Developmental atlas of white lupin cluster roots [PDF]
, 2020 AbstractDuring the course of evolution, plants have developed various strategies to improve micronutrient acquisition, such as cluster roots. These spectacular structures are dedicated to efficient phosphate remobilization and acquisition. When exposed to Pi-limitation, white lupin forms cluster roots made of dense clusters of short specialized roots ...

Alternative Protein Sources in Poultry and Pig Nutrition—A Review
Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Proteins are an essential nutrient for the viability of all animals, enabling organisms to grow, regenerate and defend themselves against pathogenic organisms. Soybean and soybean‐based materials are commonly used to supplement protein in animal nutrition.

White lupin leads to increased maize yield through a soil fertility-independent mechanism: a new candidate for fighting Striga hermonthica infestation? [PDF]
, 2018 Nitrogen (N)-deficiency and lack of phosphorus (P) availability are major constraints to maize yields in Western Kenya. In a two-season field study in the lake Victoria basin, we tested the capacity of white lupin (Lupinus albus (L.), cv.

Deep roots through time and crops: insight from five seasons at DeepRootLab
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Deep‐rooted crops accessing water and nutrients from deep soil layers enhance the resource base for crop production. However, studying these roots in field conditions is labour‐intensive, limiting research scope. We established a field root research facility with 48 plots for replicated experiments.

Pushing forward white lupin as a local source for protein and nitrogen in Central Europe [PDF]
, 2017 White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is a promising leguminous crop. Europe is fully dependent on protein and nitrogen fertilizer imports. This has tremendous negative effects both in Europe and the producing countries, such as loss of terrestrial biodiversity,

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.
