<strong>The</strong> <strong>Bean</strong> <strong>Bag</strong><br />
A newsletter to promote communication among research scientists concerned with the<br />
systematics of the Leguminosae/Fabaceae<br />
Number 59 December 2012<br />
FROM THE EDITOR<br />
Lourdes Rico<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Bean</strong> <strong>Bag</strong> is a newsletter designed to promote communication among research<br />
scientists concerned with legume systematics. It started in 1974 as the initiative of Bob<br />
Gunn and Richard Cowan; the first printed issue was distributed in May 1975, so <strong>Bean</strong> <strong>Bag</strong> is<br />
nearly 40 years old. <strong>The</strong> aim of the <strong>Bean</strong> <strong>Bag</strong> was to produce once a year a document to<br />
keep legume researchers informed and updated with new titles or projects on the family.<br />
Nowadays electronic distribution makes circulation more efficient and economic.<br />
New Readers wishing to receive a copy, please send an email to the editor:<br />

Sixth International Legume Conference (VI ILC), Johannesburg, South Africa<br />
To be held 6-11 January 2013 at the University of Johannesburg.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sixth International Legume Conference ‘Towards a new classification system for<br />
legumes’ promises to be an exciting event with important discussions and insights; during<br />
the conference discussions on this topic will be led by the Legume Phylogeny Working<br />
Group (LPWG). Key lectures will be given by distinguished Professors Jeff Doyle, Matt Lavin,<br />
Janet Sprent, Colin Hughes and Mr Domingos Cardoso. <strong>The</strong> program, however, is diverse<br />
and includes sessions on Anatomy, Biogeography, Caesalpinioideae, Chemosystematics,<br />
Commercial Legumes, Cultivation and Legumes in Agriculture, Ecology, Genetics and<br />
Genomics, Floral Biology, Invasions, Legume Floras, Lupinus, Mimosoideae, Papilionoideae,<br />
and Plant Soil Interactions. <strong>The</strong>re will also be a general poster session. A total of ca. 140<br />
delegates are expected.
In addition, a workshop entitled “Global Legume Diversity Assessment (GLDA): Concept and<br />
Challenges” will be held during the conference.<br />
A post-conference excursion will take place from 12-19 January 2013 where participants will<br />
explore the legumes of the Highveld and Lowveld, and visit the Kruger National Park among<br />
other fascinating activities.<br />
All this thanks to the Organising committee: Prof. Ben-Erik van Wyk (chair); Dr Annah<br />
Moteetee (co-chair); Dr Stephen Boatwright (Scientific program coordinator); Dr Marianne<br />
le Roux (Secretary); Ms Helen Long (Treasurer and logistics coordinator).<br />
ILDON Interactive Database of Nodulation<br />
Janet Sprent, Euan James and Peter Winfield<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is currently no up-to-date accessible database of legume nodulation and nodule properties.<br />
We are starting to compile one and will launch it at the ILC VI. <strong>The</strong> database will be made available<br />
as a web publication and is based on Alice software. To begin with we shall concentrate on a few<br />
tribes and seek feedback. <strong>The</strong> main descriptors to be used are: 1, occurrence; absent, present,<br />
suspected, inferred, unknown: 2, morphology; determinate – desmodioid, determinateaeschynomenoid,<br />
indigoferoid, lupinoid, indeterminate- no branches, indeterminate-one or few<br />
branches, indeterminate-many branches, woody: 3, infection route; hairs, cracks-no infection threads<br />
formed, cracks- infection threads formed, epidermis : 4, central tissue of nodule; uniformly infected,<br />
not uniformly infected: 5, location of bacteroids; within symbiosomes, retained within fixation threads:<br />
6, bacteroid structure; bacteroids not terminally differentiated, bacteroids terminally differentiated. Up<br />
to 5 notes with citations can be added for each taxon. At the end of an entry there is a space for<br />
comments, which might for example be used to note particular bacterial endophytes or that host<br />
taxonomy is under review, with some possible outcomes. <strong>The</strong> database will have links to others such<br />
as ILDIS and LOWO.<br />
Any comments or questions from those not going to Johannesburg will be welcomed, please contact<br />

International Conference on Legume Genomics and Genetics (ICLGG)<br />
Hyderabad, India, took place October 2 -7, 2012<br />
Julie Hofer<br />
<strong>The</strong> VI ICLGG was hosted in Hyderabad, India, home of the International Crops Research<br />
Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT). As the programme http://www.icrisat.org/gtbt/VI-ICLGG/ICLGGProgramme.pdf<br />
suggests, this 5 day conference focused on the latest
developments in genomics technologies in legume species used as food and feed. About 500<br />
delegates from 44 countries heard how genome sequences and transcriptome data were<br />
being used to generate molecular markers for linkage mapping and germplasm screening.<br />
Knowing the genetic map location of important agronomic traits and understanding the<br />
level of trait variation available in germplasm collections are key elements for breeding<br />
future legume crops successfully.<br />
<strong>The</strong> genomes of Glycine max (http://soybase.org/), Medicago truncatula<br />
(http://www.medicagohapmap.org/), Lotus japonicus (http://www.kazusa.or.jp/lotus/) and<br />
Phaseolus vulgaris (http://www.phytozome.org/) were among the first legume species to be<br />
sequenced. Now efforts are being directed at resequencing wild relatives of these species in<br />
order to identify alleles useful in breeding such as those conferring pathogen resistance and<br />
alleles involved in domestication. More recently, first draft genome sequences of cowpea<br />
(Vigna unguiculata) http://www.harvest-web.org and pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) have<br />
become available and the chickpea (Cicer arietinum) genome will soon follow suit (a<br />
chickpea transcriptome database is already available at http://59.163.192.90:8080/ctdb/) .<br />
In fact, genomic and/or transcriptomic data from 18 legume species, including garden pea<br />
(Pisum sativum) can be browsed at http://comparative-legumes.org/. <strong>The</strong> conference heard<br />
that genome sequencing projects are underway in alfalfa (Medicago sativa), narrow leaf<br />
lupin (Lupinus angustifolia), peanut (Arachis hypogea) and mungbean (Vigna radiata).<br />
Resources for investigating gene function are available in Medicago truncatula such as the<br />
Gene Expression Atlas (http://mtgea.noble.org/v2) and the Tnt1-insertion population. Each<br />
line in this population carries 30 – 50 Tnt1 (a retrotransposon from tobacco) insertions, a<br />
database can be searched to find a line carrying a Tnt1 insertion in any gene of interest and<br />
seed of that line can be ordered for experimental purposes (http://medicagomutant.noble.org/mutant/).<br />
A similar resource is being expanded in Lotus japonicus, using<br />
the endogenous LTR retrotransposon, LORE1, to tag genes http://usersmb.au.dk/pmgrp/blast/blast.html.<br />
It was announced that version 3.0 of the L. japonicus<br />
genome will be published next year after resequencing 29 Lotus diverse accessions.<br />
Many talks and approximately 300 posters covered new understanding gleaned from all this<br />
genomics information in the fields of legume genome evolution, disease resistance, food<br />
quality and marker-assisted breeding. Overall the meeting was a resounding success and a<br />
fascinating cultural experience. <strong>The</strong> next ICLGG is planned for 2014 in Canada.<br />
Progress with Legume Red List assessments on the latest release of the IUCN<br />
Red List of Threatened Plants<br />
Steve Bachman<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was a significant boost in the number of Legume species on the latest edition of the<br />
Red List of Threatened Species thanks to the IUCN Sampled Red List Index Project – a<br />
collaborative project between <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong>, <strong>Kew</strong>, Natural History Museum and<br />
IUCN. In total 951 legumes were added from a random sample. <strong>The</strong> assessments are part of<br />
an ongoing monitoring project that tracks how Red List status changes over time. <strong>The</strong>se
species will be reviewed again for another assessment in 2020 and will form part of a global<br />
indicator that responds directly to the Convention on Biological Diversity goals – specifically<br />
Aichi Biodiversity Target 12. For further information see here:<br />

NEW PROJECTS<br />
Identifying Geographically Based Metapopulations for Development of Plant Materials<br />
Indigenous to Rangeland Ecosystems of the Western USA.<br />
Douglas A. Johnson, B. Shaun Bushman, Thomas A. Jones, and Kishor Bhattarai<br />
Rangeland ecosystems account for about half of the earth’s land surface. <strong>The</strong>y play an important role<br />
in providing forage for livestock and wildlife, and they serve as critical watershed areas. Many of the<br />
world’s rangelands have been degraded by overgrazing, marginal crop production, mineral and<br />
energy extraction, recreation, and other human-caused disturbances. This degradation has led to<br />
invasion by exotic weeds and subsequent increases in fire frequency. This, in combination with<br />
uncertainties associated with global climatic change, has resulted in a critical need for plant materials<br />
to restore and revegetate rangeland ecosystems. <strong>The</strong> assessment of genetic variation and its<br />
phenotypic expression in important rangeland plant species (especially forbs) is critical in defining<br />
population structures (genetically differentiated groups) that could be used in rangeland<br />
restoration/revegetation efforts. We used common-garden studies and DNA-based analysis of genetic<br />
variation to assess genetic diversity in three rangeland legume species indigenous to rangeland<br />
ecosystems of the Great Basin Region of the western USA. Results of these studies are presented as<br />
three case studies that describe data collection procedures, analysis, and interpretation used to<br />
identify population structures in each species. <strong>The</strong>se data formed the basis for combining plant<br />
collections into geographically based metapopulations for the three legume species that are being<br />
used to develop plant materials for commercial seed production and subsequent use on rangelands of<br />
the Great Basin. Case studies include Astragalus filipes, Dalea ornata and D. searlsiae.<br />
