Abstract
White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is still a minor crop in Europe. The breeding of this species in Western Europe is focused on the autumn-sown type. Detailed studies of the physiology of the plant and the effects of plant architecture on seed yield have shown that a combination of dwarfism and determinate growth is likely to be the most productive type. The development of dwarf determinate genotypes, as the European ideotype, now requires that varieties with high seed yield potential are produced, that they can be grown efficiently and that the seed has a high utilisation value as feed. It has been shown that with this architectural type, biomass accumulation is a major factor limiting yield. Agronomic practices and selection criteria can be defined to increase biomass production. An E.U.-funded study, which started in 1997, of dwarf-determinate genotypes is presented in this paper.
