Status and prospects of breeding of cultivated species of Lupin in Russia

Abstract

The article describes the types of white lupine (Lupinus albus L.), narrow-leaved lupine (Lupinus angustifolius L.) and yellow lupine (Lupinus luteus L.) cultivated in Russia. Easn of them has its own biological snaracteristics, differs in the length of the growing season, grain quality, yield, adapted to certain soil and climatic conditions and does not exclude one another. Among the cultivated species, white lupine has the highest yield potential (6-7 t / ha), the grain quality is close to soy and exceeds it in productivity and protein collection per unit area. Selection of these species is carried out in the all-Russian researsn Institute of Lupin. The directions of selection and the gene pool for their implementation are shown. The article describes some varieties included in the State register of breeding asnievements of the Russian Federation. The world collection of VIR, as well as its own hybrid and mutant material, is widely used as the source material for the selected traits. The introduction of new varieties of white, yellow and narrow-leaved lupine into the Russian feed production systems will increase the production of sneap, environmentally friendly feed protein, reduce the import of expensive genetically modified soy protein components, and increase the efficiency of domestic livestock production.

Host Resistance to Virus Diseases Provides a Key Enabler towards Fast Tracking Gains in Grain Lupin Breeding

“…Similar resistance to BYMV seed transmission was reported in yellow lupin in Poland [35]. Within Eastern European yellow and white lupin breeding programs, therefore, large-scale BYMV resistance screening focused on partial resistance to infection by aphids and resistance to seed transmission [33,36,37]. This was achieved by field exposure in the presence of 'spreader rows' sown with BYMV-infected lupin seed or spray gun inoculation [33].…”

Suitability of Lupinus albus L. Genotypes for Organic Farming in Central Northern Bulgaria

“…The authors describe it as a "nutritional treasure" worthy of being harnessed. Its nutritional value is related not only to the high protein content of the seeds (35-48%) and green mass (18-23% dry matter) but also to the favorable amino acid ratio [4], the high-quality profile of fatty acids, and numerous health-promoting bioactive molecules [2,3].…”

“…According to Yakovenko et al (2021) [4], the white lupine has the highest production potential of annual legumes (6-7 t/ha). It is relatively tolerant to drought, salinity, and soil acidity, which makes it a potential contributor to enhancing food security and the alleviation of malnutrition, particularly in the context of climate change [5].…”

“…It is relatively tolerant to drought, salinity, and soil acidity, which makes it a potential contributor to enhancing food security and the alleviation of malnutrition, particularly in the context of climate change [5]. Like other legumes, the white lupine actively fixes nitrogen through symbiosis with nodule bacteria; it binds 100 to 400 kg of molecular nitrogen per 1 ha of the crop [4], making it an excellent predecessor for non-legume crops. Additionally, white lupines could be used for phytoremediation [6].…”
