Description
Summary:Lupinus polyphyllus Lindl is a perennial herbaceous plant widely distributed in the Northeastern states of the USA, Canada, Europe, Argentina and New Zealand. This plant is distributed on the Kola Peninsula. L. polyphyllus contains alkaloids, the main of which are lupanine, lupinine, and sparteine. The aim of the study was to determine the cytotoxicity of aqueous extracts of seeds of the studied plant and their effect on biomass growth by the Allium-test method. It was found that aqueous solutions of L. polyphillus seeds extract in concentrations 5 – 0.1325 %v/v doesn’t have an inhibitory effect on the mitosis of A. cepa root meristem cells but have a statistically significant effect of stimulating the growth of biomass A. cepa in a concentration of 5% v/v.
