| Abstract | 1. The genus Vicia may be subdivided into groups of species characterized by associations of ninhydrin-positive compounds occurring in high concentrations in their seeds. Despite these subdivisions the overall distribution pattern emphasizes the unity of the genus and the possible value of such studies in establishing degrees of relationship between species within the genus. 2. Canavanine is a major constituent in the seeds of 17 species. 3. γ-Hydroxyarginine, an amino acid that has not been found in other plant genera, occurs in 18 species. 4. γ-Hydroxyornithine, a new natural amino acid, is found in two species. 5. A new naturally occurring ureido amino acid tentatively identified as `γ-hydroxycitrulline' is found in two species. 6. High concentrations of αβ-diaminopropionic acid are found in seed of V. baicalensis and of αγ-diaminobutyric acid in seed of V. aurantica. 7. The neurotoxic amino acid β-cyanoalanine and its γ-glutamyl peptide are found together in high concentrations in the seeds of 16 species of this agriculturally important genus. 8. Seven unidentified ninhydrin-positive compounds occur in high concentration (about 1% of the dry weight or more) in the seed of various species. Details of their RF values, ionic mobilities and colour reactions are given. 9. The total concentration of extractable ninhydrin-positive compounds varies little between seeds of different species and these compounds may, as has been suggested for those in Lathyrus, constitute a readily available form of storage nitrogen. 10. The nature and distribution, as opposed to the total concentration, of the amino acids and related compounds accumulated in the seeds of Vicia are different from those accumulated in the seeds of the related genus, Lathyrus. One particularly interesting difference is the accumulation of C6 guanidino amino acids (arginine and γ-hydroxyarginine) by Vicia and the accumulation of C7 guanidino amino acids (homoarginine, γ-hydroxyhomoarginine and the related amino acid lathyrine) by Lathyrus. Such differences afford a method for distinguishing between species of these genera. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
