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 plants are susceptible to aphid infestation. The accumulation of alkaloids in aphids indicates that the quinolizidine alkaloids are translocated via the phloem in legume plants. This assumption is supported by direct evidence: analysis of phloem sap from Lupinus contains up to 5 mg alkaloid whereas xylem sap is virtually free of alkaloids. The interrelationship between quinolizidine alkaloids and hervivores is discussed.

Examination of a large number of samples of Duboisia hopwoodii has confirmed the findings of Bottomley, Nottle, and White (1946). The methods used for the estimation of nicotine and nornicotine are described and the results summarized. These could not be correlated with locality, season, or soil type, and examination of fresh leaves showed that the alkaloid content is considerably reduced on drying. �� Samples of nicotine and nornicotine have been prepared and ursolic acid and a quercetin glycoside have been isolated from D. hopwoodii leaves.
