Lupine plants comprising a homozygous recessive mutant allele that produces a dwarf plant height characteristic (or dwarf plant height phenotype or trait) are disclosed. One embodiment relates to the seeds of said dwarf lupine plants, to the plants of said dwarf lupine plants, to plant parts of said dwarf lupine plants, and to methods for producing a lupine plant produced by crossing said dwarf lupine plant with itself or with another lupine plant. Another embodiment also relates to methods for producing a lupine plant having a dwarf plant height characteristic (or dwarf plant height phenotype or trait) and to the dwarf plant height characteristic (or dwarf plant height phenotype or trait) lupine plants and plant parts produced by those methods. Another embodiment relates to producing interspecific lupine dwarf plants having a dwarf plant height characteristic (or dwarf plant height phenotype or trait).
