OPTIONS
(A) Mimosin
(B) Oxalate
(C) HCN
(D) Saponin
ANSWER
(A) Mimosin
EXPLANATION
Subabul contains mimosine, a toxic non-protein amino acid that can cause signs such as poor growth, hair loss and thyroid-related effects when intake is excessive. Oxalate, HCN and saponin are important toxins or antinutritional compounds in other plants but are not the characteristic toxic substance of subabul.
