The article presents brief information concerning the historical development of white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) as a crop and results of its breeding around the world. Lupin is a reach source of plant protein of high quality for feed production. Nowadays 14 white lupin varieties have been listed in the State Register for Breeding Achievements in the Russian Federation; 8 of them have been developed in the All-Russian Research Institute of Lupin (3 including – jointly with the K.A. Timiryazev’s Russian State Agricultural Academy). All of them are used as feeds; the seed protein content makes 36-38%. Screening of white lupin genebank allows select lines for the characters surpassing the standard. The lupin genebank of the All-Russian Research Institute of Lupin consists of native and world lupin breeding lines. The tests were done on the experimental field of the Institute (Bryansk region) in 2016-2020. VIR method “VIR global collection of grain legume crop genetic resources: replenishment, conservation and studying” was used in the work. Lines with high grain productivity and lines with seed protein content higher than 40% were selected. They are used in breeding work and in hybridization as the sources of single or of complex of economic-and-biological characters
