“…The third year was the most favourable at both locations, since all ecotypes had protein contents higher than 270 g kg −1 . Overall, these values were comparable to those reported in the literature for accessions from different geographic origins 16, 22, 23, 28, 29. The main antinutritional and toxic compounds present in grass pea seeds, such as TIs and ODAP, were investigated (Table 4).…”

“…In addition to crossing and selection of plants, several processing methods have been proposed for the reduction of ODAP toxicity, but none of them is able to completely prevent the neurotoxic effects of grass pea 3, 4, 11, 15. Recently, methionine supplementation of the diet has been proposed to counteract ODAP toxicity 16…”

“…For millions of subsistence farmers in sub Saharan Africa grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is a cheap source of protein for livestock, but like all legumes it is deficient in the sulfur containing amino acids cysteine and methionine. [29] Fig. 7.…”

“…Methionine supplementation prevented broiler chicks from developing neurological symptoms when raw grass pea seeds were used as protein and energy sources in the diet. [29] In addition, methionine in diets enhanced the oxidative stability, increased color stability, and decreased drip loss in chicken meat. [30] In addition, sufficient methionine levels in the diet have been demonstrated to be necessary for sustaining normal immunocompetence and achieving maximum egg production in laying hens in subtropical conditions.…”

Methionine is one of the first limiting amino acids in poultry nutrition. The use of methionine-rich natural feed ingredients, such as soybean meal or rapeseed meal may lead to negative environmental consequences. Amino acid supplementation leads to reduced use of protein-rich ingredients. The objectives of this study were isolation of potentially high content methionine-containing yeasts, quantification of methionine content in yeasts and their respective growth response to methionine analogs. Minimal medium was used as the selection medium and the isolation medium of methionine-producing yeasts from yeast collection and environmental samples, respectively. Two yeasts previously collected along with six additional strains isolated from Caucasian kefir grains, air-trapped, cantaloupe, and three soil samples could grow on minimal medium. Only two of the newly isolated strains, K1 and C1, grew in minimal medium supplied with either methionine analogs ethionine or norleucine at 0.5% (w/v). Based on large subunit rRNA sequences, these isolated strains were identified as Pichia udriavzevii/Issatchenkia orientalis. P. kudriavzevii/I. orentalis is a generally recognized as a safe organism. In addition, methionine produced by K1 and C1 yeast hydrolysate yielded 1.3 ± 0.01 and 1.1 ± 0.01 mg g(-1) dry cell. Yeast strain K1 may be suitable as a potential source of methionine for dietary supplements in organic poultry feed but may require growth conditions to further increase their methionine content.

“…How much the environmental conditions can affect grass pea seed quality traits has been reported in recent studies dealing with morphological and compositional seed traits [26,31]. As a consequence of the increasing interest towards Lathyrus species as alternative pulses, it has been agreed that grass pea breeding should be focused, besides to the ODAP reduction and the plant architectural ideotype, also towards the increase in seeds of the level of Har and methionine in consideration of potential beneficial effects of on human health of these amino acids [16,17,35]. The results presented in this paper give preliminary in-formation not only on the variation of Har amount within grass pea but also on some features affecting its storage.…”

Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) has great agronomic potential as grain and forage legume, and presently is considered as a model crop for sustainable agriculture. However, the development into an important food legume has been hindered by the presence of the neurotoxic amino acid β-N-Oxalyl-α, β-diaminopropionic acid (β-ODAP). Recent studies reported that homoarginine (Har) can counteract this toxic action. This research was undertaken to shed light on the variation of Har amount within grass pea. The influence of the environment and of the year-to-year variation of climatic conditions was also investigated. Seven Italian grass pea ecotypes were evaluated for two subsequent growing seasons in two locations of southern Italy. In contrast with previous studies, collected data evidenced a significant variation of Har amount among the tested ecotypes. Moreover, a significant positive correlation between Har and ODAP level was observed. The effect of year-to-year variation of temperature and rainfall quantity is also discussed.
