Abstract
This thesis describes the development of two novel and complementary analytical approaches for assaying cyanoalanine non-protein amino acids. These assays are used to determine the distribution of these compounds both within and between plants and to identify accessions of common vetch which contain low levels of the cyanoalanine non-protein amino acids in germplasm collections. These analytical tools are used to correlate toxicity observed in animal feeding experiments with the cyanoalanine content. This thesis covers also the first report of the use of diffuse reflectance using dispersive infrared spectrometry for the "in situ" quantification of specific organic components from plant tissue as well as the first use of micellar electrokinetic chromatography for the quantitative analysis of 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) derivatised and non-derivatised components of extracts from plant material.
