Utilisation of genetic resources of narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) to secure low alkaloid content for feed and food usage (Nutzung genetischer Ressourcen der Schmalblättrigen Lupine)
Project
Project code: 2820EPS004
Contract period: 15.03.2023

The aim of the project is to use breeding research and breeding strategies to improve the quality of the narrow-leaved sweet lupine for use in the food and feed sector and thus improve its worth for cultivation. By including previously unused genetic resources, the genetic diversity of the existing breeding material of narrow-leaved sweet lupine is to be enriched and the genetic yield potential of this crop species is to be secured and further improved. The focus here is on the development of new varieties with environmentally stable, low alkaloid contents and high yield potential at the same time.
