THE BEAN BAG A newsletter to promote communication among research scientists concerned witn the systematics of the Leguminosae/Fabaceae Number 28 November 1988 Third International Legume Conference R. M. Polhill Some of the subscribers to the Bean Bag have been suggesting practicalities for the Third International Legume Conference. Professor G. T. Prance, newly appointed as Director at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, has offered to host a scientific meeting at Kew in the summer of 1992. The task of organising a major international conference on legumes has now reached the point where it seems best to divide the meeting into several sessions with co-ordinators resonsable for a review of special aspects or particular tribal groupings. There are many exciting new developments, and we welcome the widest participation. Collaborative programmes have worked well for the previous meetings and shortcomings in rapid publications of the proceedings should be overcome by existing facilities for in-house typesetting. The series Advances in Legume Systematics will be continued for interim papers and the proceedings can be divided into parts to expedite publication of experimental data. In addition to the 1992 meeting, suggestions have been made for one or two intervening workshops in legume-rich tropical countries, so we can get together and talk more about plants and procedures. This might be linked to congresses alreadu planned in suitable places. Please do write in with your suggestions. - Dr. R. M. POLHILL, Herbarium, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 3AB, Great Britain. Bean Bag address: SBM&NL, Bldg. 265, BARC-East Beltsville, MD^0705 USA 2 Bean Bag Number 27 From the Editors Charles R. Gunn and Joseph H. Kirkbride, Jr. The BB is designed to promote communication among research scientists concerned with legume systematics. To achieve this goal the BB is issued in May and November of each year and features six columns: From the Editors, News (meetings, major events, announcements, etc.). New Readers, Gleanings, Nodulation and Nitrogen Fixation (new nodulation records), and Recent Legume Literature. Data in the Gleanings column are derived from questionnaire sheets which Readers complete and return. If you have news about legume systematics, send it to us for this column. The Recent Legume Literature column contains published research papers of specific interest to BB Readers. Recent is defined as one year old. We rarely will publish a citation that is more than one year old. Specific interest to BB Readers is defined as research papers of interest to a world wide group of legume systematic botanists. We encourage Bean Bag (BB) Readers to send us notices, observations, etc. Diacritical marks can now be placed in the BB. If such marks should be placed in your name, address, publications, etc., please let us know. We are especially interested in correcting our Directory. Thank you. 2nd ILDIS Workshop International Legume Database 8c Information Service Frank A. Bisby The 2nd ILDIS Workshop was held at Southampton, Great Britain, from 21st to 23rd September 1988. The Workshop was for participants in the project to /) review progress with Phase 1 - establishment of a species diversity system for all of the world’s legume species - and //) plan Phase 2 - extension of the species diversity system eventually to provide information on phytochemistry, biotechnology and plant breeding, germplasm sources, nodulation, applied botany and taxonomic botany. There were 45 participants from 1 1 countries. We are grateful for support from SERC, and the Commission of the European Communities. Phase 1: Species Diversity System for 1990/91 Phase 1 of ILDIS is to establish a species diversity database that covers all species of Leguminosae. The data to be provided for each species comprise species checklist data (name, synonyms, tribe membership and references), geographic distribution (by continents and country with the status in each country) and "common knowledge" data (lifeform, habitat, conservation status, uses, vernacular names, and literature references for descriptions, illustrations and maps). The species diversity database is designed both for data-entry and for subsequent use on PC/AT compatible MS-DOS computers at remote sites using the ALICE software purchased from the ALICE Software Partnership. The ILDIS database has a fully relational file structure which stores the data in very compact form. The ALICE software is provided as dBASE III compiled with the Quicksilver Compiler. Collating data for the species diversity database involves two main steps. Firstly geographical compilers in different continents are undertaking the initial entry of the Type 1 data. Secondly taxonomic coordinators for each tribe or large genus are going to edit data for their group, the aim being to consult widely and to bring the taxonomic checklist element of type 1 data into taxonomic consistency. At the Workshop Mike Lock and Jim ZARUCCHI reported on the collation of the three large November 1988 3 geographical datasets, for Africa, the Americas, and Europe. These are complete and now handed over to the ILDIS Coordinating Centre. Mike Lock working at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, completed the African dataset in May 1988. It contained fairly full Type 1 data for 5,000 species (5,800 taxa). Jim ZARUCCHI at the Missouri Botanical Garden had in August 1988 completed his compilation of data on 7,160 N. American and S. American species (9,400 taxa). He had transferred the data, which comprised the checklist and geographical elements of Type 1 Data, from the TROPICOS system to the ILDIS Coordinating Centre. Tony Sumner at Reading University had also transferred data for about 1,200 European taxa from the ESFDS system to ILDIS. Diana Richardson and Sue Hollis from the ILDIS Coordinating Centre at Southampton reported on progress with merging the three geographical datasets, "The Grand Merge." Diana has worked with the ALICE Software Partnership in writing the SAM software for checking incoming datasets and merging them with an ALICE format database. Sue Hollis has responsibility for botanical data standards in ILDIS and provides the editorial work involved in the merge. Workshop participants were a little concerned about the time taken and it was agreed to reduce the level of editorial work during the merge, leaving a larger share of the problems to be resolved subsequently by the taxonomic coordinators - the problem being that the taxonomic coordinators could not start until the merge was complete. There was a wide ranging and useful discussion amongst the taxonomic coordinators. Many will receive their part of the merged database in spring 1989 in electronic form and will work on editing it using the ALICE software. Top priority was for taxonomic coordinators to check the taxonomic consistency of their group - this would involve consultation amongst taxonomists to agree on a consensus (with alternative classifications included in the synonymy), and then the work of harmonising the database records for consistency within this system. This editing involves getting the dataset to reflect the best of the available taxonomy, and not new research. Species accepted despite doubts will be marked "provisionally accepted." There was discussion on how some coordinators could edit hardcopy if they could not do the work on their own computer, and of difficulties in locating taxonomic coordinators for all groups. The taxonomic editing work is planned for 1989, and during 1990 the edited data sets will be merged to give the first ILDIS database ready for public use. It will be complete for the legumes of Africa, Europe and the Americas, and projects in various stages of progress will add data for China, Pacific, W. Asia, S. Asia, S. E. Asia, Australia, Madagascar and USSR. Peter Winfield and Bob ALLKIN reported for the ALICE Software Partnership. ILDIS participants are now using ALICE version 1, but will shortly be converted to using ALICE version 2. The new ALICE Query Module and ALICE Report Generator were demonstrated to ILDIS participants for the first time (using the African 5,000 African species dataset) and much admired by all. Finally there was a discussion about how the legume species diversity database will be made available as a public service in 1990/91. The ILDIS User Services Group is expected to make precise recommendations during 1989, but preliminary discussions favored: hardcopy publications, publication on electronic media (database plus software on CD-ROM or diskettes), a database enquiry centre and an experimental online system (through BIOSIS). Planning Phase 2 - Extending the Database to Cover Legume Information for Pure and Applied Scientists The second part of the workshop was devoted to how ILDIS might extend the species diversity database to include botanical and applied sets of information that would serve the large community of scientists working on legumes. We considered the needs in agriculture and forestry (legume crops, legume forestry, underutilised crops, multi-purpose trees, plant breeding, germplasm), in medicine (pharmaceuticals, toxins, ethnobotany), in ecology (biological diversity, habitats, systematic botany, biogeography, conservation, legislation), and in physiology and chemistry 4 Bean Bag Number 27 (phytochemistry, insecticides etc., foods and flavors, nitrogen fixation, gums). It was agreed to break this enormous range of possibilities into separate subprojects, each focusing on a distinct "module" to the database. Under each module it would be possible to outline the information of greatest use, the demand from users, and the resources needed for data acquisition and software preparation. Each Phase 2 module would depend on the completion and continued maintenance of the Phase 1 species diversity database, and hence should have built into its costing a contribution to the Phase 1 database and the ILDIS network. 1. Phytochemistry Module (Coordinator - Prof. J.B. Harborne). Jeffrey Harborne and Frank BISBY reported that the most important element would be an index giving detailed enumeration of substances and the legumes from which they were reported. To produce and maintain this would be a major undertaking. A proposal for commercial partnership in this venture had been received from Chapman & Hall Publishers. 2. Biotechnology & Plant Breeding (Coordinators - Dr.L. Brimer & Prof. J. Cubero). Leon Brimer and Teresa Milan described ideas on providing factual data on the status of species in genetic trans- formation and breeding programmes along with further associated biological data on tissue culture, breeding systems, etc. A request for funding under the EC Biotechnology/Bioinformatics Programme had been rejected, but there would be renewed opportunities. 3. Germplasm (Coordinator - Mr. N. MAXTED). Nigel MAXTED agreed to explore the ILDIS needs for a balanced directory of germplasm sources for all legumes. This would need to link with existing organizations covering crops (IBPGR), forest trees, and botanic gardens resources (IUCN). 4. Nodulation & Nitrogen Fixation (Coordinators - Dr. J. KIRKBRIDE & Dr. J. I. SPRENT). There was a need both for simple nodulation records that might be added to Type 1 data, and for a more detailed module dealing with nodule form, physiology and Rhizobia. 5. Applied Botany (Coordinator - Dr. C. HUGHES). Colin HUGHES agreed to lead a small group examining the needs for information on plant uses, ethnobotany, vernacular names etc. 6. Taxonomic Botany (Dr. R.M. POLHILL). There was support for including the taxonomic hierarchy, and considerable discussion concerning brief descriptions, and identification aids, and extending Type 1 data to cover chromosome numbers and further ecological detail. A number present favored provision of simple line drawings once the software was available. It was agreed that Phase 2 Coordinators would report back to a planning meeting in 12 months time. In the meantime there was still much work to be done in completing Phase 1!

Williams Higher-Level Legume Phylogeny Call for Contributions Michael Crisp, Jenny Chappill and Peter H. Weston For the 3rd International Legume Conference , to be held at Kew in the summer of 1992, we hope to develop a phylogeny of the legumes at the highest levels (tribes and above). Obviously this can only be achieved by a collaboration between a number of workers in the field. At this stage we wish to contact as many interested people as possible. We are looking for (a) contributors of papers on relationships, particularly at the tribal level and (b) people working in more specialized fields (e.g. palynology, developmental biology, molecular biology) who may be willing to contribute data that can be incorporated in a phylogenetic analysis of the whole family. Among the first group, we would hope to coordinate research so that it is complementary, and focusses on those groups which are most problematic. The major problem we see is the monophyly or otherwise of the three suffamilies, especially the Caesalpoinioideae and Papilionoideae and the basal tribes within them. Relationships to other families also must be considered. Jenny CHAPPILL has just commenced a post-doctoral study with the aim of producing a preliminary cladogram of the family and providing a framework for more detailed studies. She is keen to hear from people working in specialised fields who are interested in systematic implications of their work. People who wish to contribute papers on phylogentic studies should contact Michael CRISP. - Dr. Michael Crisp, Australian National Botanic Garden, Canberra ACT 2601, Australia.
