Comparison of , and total ODAP (-N-oxalyl-L-?,-diamino propionic acid) contents in winter- and spring-sown grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.) genotypes

摘要

There is a strong relationship between the consumption of grasspea (Lathyrus sativus?L.)?and “lathyrism” disease caused by a neurotoxin, β-N-oxalyl-L-a,β-diaminopropionoc acid called ODAP or BOAA.?The objective of this study was to compare α, β and total ODAP found in grasspea genotypes sown in winter and spring seasons during?2007/08?and grown under rainy conditions in semi-arid regions of Turkey. Biochemical compounds of α, β and total ODAP were found to be higher in spring-sown grass peas than those of winter-sown ones. Grasspea 452, 508 and 519 genotypes had lower β-ODAP levels in winter- and spring-sown.
