Abstract
The natural occurrence of L-homarginine has been confirmed by isolation from seeds of L. cicera. The possible role of L-homarginine as the precursor of lathyrine is discussed. A color reaction for the detection of homocitrulline is described.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
