The major toxin present in the dry seeds and seedlings of Lathyrus sativus is the neurotoxin 3-N-oxalyl-L-2,3-diaminopropanoic acid (beta-ODAP). The presence of one additional neurotoxin and an osteotoxin in the seedlings increases the overall toxicity. Isolation, purification, and detection of these toxins are described.
