Abstract Aphids (Aphis cytisorum) which infest broom plants (Cytisus scoparius) accumulate up to 500 μg alkaloid/g fr. wt. The alkaloids, which are similar to those of the plants, consist of 17-oxo-sparteine, sparteine, 12,13-dehydrosparteine, and lupanine. Infested plants contain > 50% less alkaloids than aphid-free plants. In Lupinus aphid resistance which is due to their high alkaloid content is more expressed: Whereas bitter varieties are free from aphids, only the sweet alkaloid-free… Expand
