โœฆ Synopsis

In the course of our studies of nitrogen metabolism in tobacco plants, a new amino acid was isolated from, Nicotiana tabacum L. "Hicks".

___-

We wish to report here the isolation and the structure elucidation of the amino acid tentatively named "nicotianamine" (represented as (I) in the following text).

Green tabacco leaves (70 Kg) were extracted 3 times with 70 % aqueous MeOH.

## Abstract __Acacia angustissima__ has potential in agroforestry systems for forage production in tropical environments. However, feeding trials indicate that the leaves are potentially toxic. Signs of toxicity in sheep are similar to those presented by sheep fed flatpea (__Lathyrus sylvestris__)
