Variability of ricin content in mature seeds of castor bean
The objective of this work was to evaluate ricin concentration in castor bean seeds (Ricinus communis) of 20 accessions from the Banco de Germoplasma de Mamoneira of the Embrapa Algodão, Campina Grande, PB, Brazil, using the Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay. Significant differences were observed among accessions. BRA 3271 had the highest ricin concentration in seeds (32.18 ng µg-1), and BRS Paraguaçu had the lowest (3.53 ng µg-1). There is the possibility of selecting genotypes with different ricin concentrations, which can be used according on the interest of the breeding programs.
