WelcomeAddressesFromthePresidentofILS(2011-2016) The LegumeSocietywasfoundedin2011afterclosureofformerEuropean Association for Grain Legume Research (AEP). Ourmissionwas becoming the society of reference for ALL legumesWORLWIDE,thisis,extendingtherangeofcropscoveredandtheareaofreference.Afterfivedifficultyearswithabsolutelylackofsponsorsandanykind of financial support, we can proudly realize that LegumeSocietyhasconsolidatedwithgreatsuccessandhasapromisingfuture.Thiswaspossibleonly thanks to thevoluntaryworkofanumberofcommittedpeople.We have been able to establish a solid and reliable series oftriennial legume-devotedconferencesaswellasadisseminationmagazine (Legume Perspectives), with a real niche serving as adisseminationtoolforthelegumecommunity.First Legume Society Conference was successfully organized atNovi Sad, Serbia in 2013. Second is taking place now (2016) atTroia,Portugal,togetherwithanumberofsatelliteevents.Thirdis already planned at Poznan, Poland in 2019.We are sure thatthisreliableseriesofmultidisciplinaryconferenceswillbeofgreatinterest to legume experts, extending it to stake holders. Weshould acknowledge the great efforts made by the localorganizersoftheseevents.At the General Assembly a new Scientific Committee will beelected thatwill for surebring the renewedenergiesneeded tocontinue with Legume Society endeavor. We all shall offer oursupportandgratitudeandwishthemsuccessforfuture.DiegoRubiales

Marie-HélèneJeuffroy
Marie-Hélène Jeuffroy is a senior scientist inAgronomy. Shedefendedher PhD in 1991 in ecophysiology, analysing and modeling yieldformationinapeacrop.Then,sheworkedonnitrogenmanagementinthe cropping systems, with the aim of designing new practices orideotypes taking into account various agronomic and environmentaltargets, and their use within the cropping systems. Then, she studiedparticipatorymethods for the design of decision-support systems and,more largely, technical innovations. A large part of her researchconcerned grain legumes, and their interactions with the croppingsystem.

Valuing the environmental benefts of legumes requires aterritorialapproachJeuffroyM-H1,HellouG2,MagriniM-B3,PelzerE11 - UMR Agronomie INRA, AgroParisTech, Université Paris Saclay, 78850 Thiverval-Grignon,France2 - LEVA, Univ. Bretagne Loire, Ecole Supérieure d’Agricultures (ESA), 49007 Angers,France3-AGIR,UniversitédeToulouse,INRA,INPT,INP-EIPURPAN,Castanet-Tolosan,FranceDespite theenvironmentalbenefitsof legume-based cropping systemslargely described by scientists, and the great diversity of availablespecies and crop practices showing possible adaptation to localenvironment, legume areas have strongly decreased since the 90s inEurope. However, their use as feed or food is highly recognized asbeneficial for human health, nutritional qualities, and improvedEuropeanautonomyforprotein.Basedonsurveysaroundvariousstakeholdersatbothnationalandlocallevels, including farmers, the reasons for that discrepancy have beenidentifiedinFrance.Onemainreasonisthattheenvironmentalbenefitsare highly variable, according to the local situation, and farmers lackinformationand tools to take intoaccount this variability in their cropmanagement. Moreover, the benefits gained from legumes are mostoften measurable on the following crops, whereas the agriculturalsociotechnical system enhances annual assessment of practices.Another reason is that some environmental benefits address globalissues, which are not directly connected to the local stakeholdersconcerns.Theseobservationscallfortheneedofasharedvisionofthebenefitsgained from legumecropsamong thestakeholdersconcernedby theirpossibledevelopmentanduse.Wethusconclude thatvaluingthe environmental benefits of legume crops requires a territorialapproach.Basedonacombinedapproachmixingcasestudies in three territoriesandtheoreticalaspects,weshowthatgainingfromtheseenvironmentalbenefits requires combine technical, but also organisational andeconomicalinnovations,withintheterritory,combiningvariouslevelsoftheagrifoodsystem.Whenco-designedbytheconcernedactorswithina territory, these coupled innovations appear adapted to the localconditionsandstakeholders’activitiesandstrategies,and thusallowtoenhancethedevelopmentoflegumecrops,takingbenefitfromasharedvisionofthelegume-basedservices.

Geneticresourcescomeinavarietyofforms,butcanbeclassedbroadlyinto designed or natural populations. Designed populations includesegregating individuals or lineages derived from controlled crosses,following Mendel's lead. Systematic mutant populations are anotherpowerful analytical tool and can provide useful allelic variation. Thesecan be interrogated either from the point of view of phenotypicvariation to determine the corresponding genotype, or using allelic(sequence)variation inorder todetermine theconsequentphenotypicvariation.Naturalpopulations,ontheotherhand,areoftenrepresentedby selections from wild material. There will be some structure in thewildmaterial, reflecting itspopulationhistory,and somestructurewillderive from the sampling strategy. For crop genetic resources wildmaterial isaugmentedbydiverselandracesandthecombinedmaterialisoftenheld inagermplasmcollection.Muchefforthasbeendevotedto understandpopulation structure in natural populations in thehopethat this can enable genetic analysis; essentially this is a surrogate fordesigningpopulationstructure.Thesegermplasmcollectionsarewidelyviewed as useful sources of allelic diversity, because the alleles theycontainhavesurvivedselection.This presentation will discuss the interrelationship between differentpopulation types for the characterizationof the genetic determinationoftraitsandemphasisethecontinuingroleofgeneticanalysisintheeraofextensivegenomesequenceinformation.

Environmental and socioeconomic concerns also influence purchase decisions. Indeed,consumers believe that health and environmental attributes areimportant, but are they willing to pay more for the benefits theyprovide? Under the research work in experimental economicsconsidered in the European Project LEGATO an experimentalprocedure was used to elicit consumers’ willingness to pay withregard to legume fortified maize bread “Broa”. This product isspecific Portuguese maize bread, very well-known and eatenseparately during the meals.

It involved progressivelyaccumulating domestication traits (such as removal of seeddormancy and reducing seed dehiscence) that made the plantsincreasinglymore useful and productive to people. Narrow-leafedlupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) is exceptional in that itsdomestication was both recent and rapid, starting humbly as agreen manure and fodder crop in the Baltic States in the 19thCenturyandthenrapidlybeingtransformedintoahigh-qualitygraincrop in the 20th Century. Thiswas achieved through fixation of ahandful of domestication alleles: reduced seed dehiscence (lentusand tardus), removal of seed dormancy (mollis), altered time offlowering and maturity (Ku), and reduced seed alkaloid content(iucundus). Both ancient and modern domesticates share this iscommon: seriously depleted genetic diversity due populationbottlenecks.Narrow-leafedlupin,asa20thCenturydomesticate,isunique among legume grain crops in that these bottleneck eventsarealldocumentedinthescientificliterature.Herewewilloutlinethevalueoflupinasamodelforunderstandingplant domestication, what is known about the molecularmechanismsofdomesticationtraits,andthe impactdomesticationhad on genome-wide diversity in this modern era legume cropspecies.

Despite thatmuch research has been done on cowpea-nodulating bacteria invarious countries around the world, very limited information isavailableoncowpearhizobiainEuropeansoils.Giventheimportanceof cowpea in sustainable agriculture and the lack of data on theirrhizobia in Europe, we performed for first time an analysis on thephylogeny and genetic diversity of indigenous cowpea-nodulatingrhizobia in Greece. The diversity and phylogeny of isolated strainswereinvestigatedbyERIC-PCRfingerprintingandmultilocussequenceanalyses (MLSA) of eight housekeeping genes. Phylogeny ofnodulation (nodC)andnitrogen-fixation (nifH)genesof rhizobiawasalsostudied.Thesensitivityofthestrainstodifferentantibiotics,theirtolerance to different levels of salinity, pH, temperature and theirability to nodulate soybean and common bean plants were alsoassessed. Based on ERIC-PCR fingerprinting andMLSA analyses, theisolated strains were grouped into four well-supported clustersbelonging to the branch of the generaBradyrhizobium, Ensifer, andRhizobium. Finally, our results indicated that some of the strainsstudied might represent novel species, indicating that an as yetunknowndiversityofrhizobiamayexistinGreeksoils.

Itsgeneticresourcesare limitedtotheprimarygenepool.Therescue of white lupin as a major grain legume, justified by itsoutstanding protein content, is hindered by limited breeding workthat suffers, inter alia, from lack of information on the structure ofcrop genetic diversity. The aim of this study was investigating thestructureoflandracegeneticdiversityacrossdiversitylayersrelativeto variation among: (i) seven major cropping regions (Madeira-Canaries,Portugal,Spain,Maghreb,Egypt,EastAfrica,NearEast),(ii)landraces within cropping region (8-10 sampled landraces perregion), and (iii) genotypeswithin landrace (3-4 sampled genotypesper landrace). Overall, 243 genotypes were characterized by agenotyping-by-sequencingapproachthatprovided2178polymorphicSNP markers per genotype (for a 10% genotype missing datathreshold).Ananalysisofmolecularvarianceindicatedthefollowingrankingofvariancecomponents:genotypevariationwithin landrace> landracevariationwithin region>variationbetween regions.

To determine the genetic basis ofresistance to ascochyta blight in chickpea, we constructed a high-density genetic linkage map using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS)and Illumina GoldenGate SNP genotyping approach on a chickpearecombinant inbred line population (CPR02) derived from a crossbetweentheAscochytablightpartialresistantchickpeacultivar‘Amit’andahighlysusceptiblecultivar‘ICCV96029’.Genotypingdataof664segregating SNPs were generated using 1,536 GoldenGate assays.Single enzyme (ApekI) based GBS and paired-end sequencinggenerated over 224.4 million reads with an average of 1.7 millionreads per line, which facilitated identification of 2,828 high qualitysegregating SNPs. Combining SNP genotyping data from bothplatforms, CPR02 linkage map consists of 3,460 SNP markers,distributed on eight linkage groups, covering a genetic distance of867.9 cM. The CPR02 population was evaluated in greenhouse andopenfieldconditionsandinvestigatedthequantitativetraitloci(QTL)associatedwithascochytablightdiseaseresistance.AtotalofsixQTLsforresistancetoascochytablight,locatedonchromosome2,3,4and5were identified.

Substantial variations werefoundinseedcoatcontent(CV%14)andcookingtime(CV%17)amongdry bean populations. Tested soybean genotypes differed significantlyfor all evaluated traits, however with much lower variation amonggenotypes,exceptforcookingtime,ascomparedtodrybean,indicatingnarrowgeneticdiversity.Few significant correlation coefficientswere common for both speciese.g. seed coat content was negatively correlated with hydration andswelling capacities and positively with conductivity of soaking water.Cooking time was negatively correlated with conductivity of soakingwater and with hydration index. The results showed substantialvariability in dry bean and soybean in cooking time. From breedingstandpoint,highvariability suggest that it shouldbepossible toobtainappreciable responses in selection for this trait and develop cultivarswithdecreaseincookingtime.

This hardinessgivesthecropgreatpotentialforfoodsecurity,especiallyinthefaceofclimate change. However, this ancient food and feed crop has notreceived sufficient attention frombreeders due to its associationwiththeneurological disease Lathyrism,which is causedby the toxin beta-ODAP,whichisproducedbytheplant.We are working to remove this crucial limitation on the utilisation ofgrasspeabydevelopinglow/zero-toxingenotypes.Tothisend,wehavescreened natural germplasm and an EMS-mutagenized population,identifyingnewgenotypeswithlowertoxinlevelsthanexistingvarieties.In addition, we have sequenced transcriptomes derived from seventissues of grass pea. By interrogating this dataset, we have identifiedcandidate genes for some of the metabolic enzymes involved in thebeta-ODAPsynthesispathway,whichwearenowtestingbiochemically.Thismay allow us to elucidate the genetic basis of the production ofbeta-ODAP and pave the way for the first ever toxin-free grass peavarieties.

A progeny of 200 F1 individuals obtained from twoalfalfa parents (H1 and G4) contrasting by aerial morphology wasevaluatedforbiomassandplantheightundertwocroppingconditionsin micro-sward (mixture with tall fescue and monoculture) for 8consecutive cuts. Phenotypic data showed a large variation amongindividuals for all traits in all cuts. The correlation between traitsrecorded in mixture and in monoculture was positive but the largevariation around the correlation indicated that some genotypeswererelatively more performant either in mixture or in monoculture. AgeneticmapofeachparentwasobtainedfromSSRandDArTmarkers,byusingtheTetraploidMapsoftware.QTLwerefoundoneachparentandeach linkagegroup (LG).MostQTLwere common tomixtureandmonoculture (LG 1 of H1; LG 1, 2 and 4 of G4) but some QTL werespecifictothemixturecondition(LG3and7ofH1,LG6ofG4).Theseresults indicate a partial common genetic control for biomass inmixture andmonoculture but also highlight a specific genetic controlfor performance in mixture.

Modern phenotyping tools and more diverse germplasmarerequiredtoensureefficientcropbreeding.Combined integrated systems biology and comparative genomicsapproaches were developed to conduct a study of the genenetworks and metabolic pathways implicated in the interactionbetween drought stress and Fusarium oxysporum infection inMedicago truncatula. Plants subjected to combined stress wereproducedusingahigh throughputphenotypingplatformequippedwithmolecularimagingtechnologies.Bayesianmodelswereappliedto metabolomics and transcriptomics data derived from M.truncatula to identify “hub” genes and key control points inmetabolic pathways implicated in combined drought and diseaseresponse.Thirty-six hub gene candidates were identified in M. truncatula.Genetic mapping identified 28 hub gene orthologs in pea. Thesehave a similar gene expression profile inM. truncatula and peawhen exposed to combined stresses. Using gene silencingtechnologies, these hub genes have also been demonstrated tocorrelate with a phenotypic response. Tilling and eco-tilling formutants of the 28 pea genes is producing new germplasm fortestinginfieldtrialsandultimatelybreedingresistancetocombinedstress.

Inconventional breeding systems, one to three generations can beenobtained inasingleyear,withsix requiredfor fixationof favourablegenes. Our research has resulted in breakthrough technology toaccelerate the traditional Single Seed Descent (SSD) system in fivemajorgrainlegumes(chickpea,lentil,lupin,peaandfababean)andinwild Cicer species as C. echinospermum and C. reticulatum.Accelerated SSD (aSSD) enables a turnover of 6-8 generations peryear, more than halving the current fastest route (SSD) tohomozygosityinthesespecies.Keytothissystemis:(1)Plantgrowthunder tightly-controlled environmental and physical conditions torapidly initiateflowering;and(2)Aworld-firstsystemforprecociousgermination without in vitro intervention. With the final goal ofdeveloping an integrated breeding platform, we have designedhydroponic selection screens (HSS) for key abiotic constraints,including salinity, aluminium and boron toxicity that can be fullyintegrated through the aSSD system. This breeding platformrepresentsastep-changeinthepotentialefficiencyofplantbreedingprograms.

Based on protein content, from each F2population (approximately 150 lines per population) were selectedtenhighprotein (HP) and ten lowprotein (LP) lines and amino acidanalysisperformedonF2:3lines.Twoofthreepopulationshavehighnegative correlation between protein and oil content (-0.81 and -0.82),while in onepopulation this negative correlationwasweak (-0.42). Among all analyzed amino acids, only content of L- histidinefollow similar pattern. In populations with high negative protein-oilcorrelation, L- histidine was significantly lower in HP lines. On theotherhand,inpopulationwithweaknegativeprotein-oilcorrelation,content of L- histidine increased in HP lines. These findings canexplainweek negative correlation. Biosynthesis of L- histidine sharebiochemical reactions with oxidative phase of pentose phosphatepathway,whichproducesreducingequivalents(NADPH)necessaryforbiosynthesis of other compounds. Genotypes in this population canovercome this negative correlation by increased biosynthesis ofreducing equivalents, necessary for protein and oil synthesis.

In Mycosphaerella pinodes, which causes leaf spots(blights)ofpea,twostructurallyrelatedglycopeptidesuppressorsnamed supprescins A and B are secreted in the pycnosporegermination fluid. Pure suppressors potently inhibit the ecto-ATPase (apyrase; EC3.6.1.15) of host cell wall, temporarilyreducing the ability of the host cells to defend themself. Thecatalytic activity in extracts from the cell walls of pea wasenhanced in vitro, with the consequent increase of ROSgeneration by extracellular peroxidase(s), when exposed to thefungalelicitor.Interestingly,theBlue-NativePAGEanalysisforcellwall proteins from pea epicotyls demonstrated that cell wall-associated, ecto- ATPase(s) formed a large protein complex(es)ranging from 450 to 900 kDa, one of components was thehydrogen peroxide-producing copper amine oxidase (CuAO). TheCuAO activity was coordinately regulated with ATP-hydrolyzingactivity invitro,byanelicitorandasuppressor fromM.pinodes.Moreover, in vitro treatment of cell wall proteins with thesuppressor caused an appearance of the apyrasemonomer. It isthus likely that M. pinodes targets the host ecto-ATPase-containing protein complex(es) to attenuate cell wall-based,extracellulardefense(s).

This stress can drastically modify several physiologicalpathways of plants, which will eventually affect seed yield. Eventhough dry bean is highly susceptible to flooding, there are a feweffortsaddressing this issue.To identify thepotentialmechanismsbywhich dry bean tolerate the flooding stress, we evaluated ~500genotypes under greenhouse conditions at two growth stages:germination and seedling. Seven traits were evaluated and analyzedandusedforaGenome-wideAssociationstudy(GWAS)wasperformedusing ~150K SNPs. In general, results suggest that middle-Americangene pool is using different physiological mechanisms than Andeangene pool to deal with waterlogging stress. Within each pool,significant differenceswere also detected amongmarket classes. Forinstance, chlorophyll content was well preserved in pinto and greatnorthernmarketclasses(16%reduction).Howeverblackandsmallredmarket classes weremore tolerant to flooding in germination stage.The resultsofGWAS indicate that tolerant towaterloggingstress isapolygenetic trait controlled bymore than 30 loci. Among them, twoQTL on Pv08/1.6 and Pv02/41.1, which control root weight andgerminationrateunderfloodingconditionswerealsoreportedtoplaysimilar role in soybean.

Cowpea(Vigna unguiculata L.) genotypes vary in their adaptation to low-Psoils. In order to investigate to what extent this variation may berelated to PUE for symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF), five genotypes,Adrar, El Kala, Djenet, Tizi Ouzou and Bejaia, were grown in semi-hydroponic culture with sufficient versus deficient P supply.

Transgenic soybean plants over-expressing acysteine protease inhibitor (OC-I) were successfully generated andcharacterized. Plants of transgenic lines had differential transgeneexpression. Transgenic lines had lower protease activity determinedby an in-gel assay using SDS-PAGE. Transgenic lines retained morechlorophyll than controls at later stages of development. Underdrought stress, transgenic lines performed better CO2 assimilation(photosynthesis) and instantaneous water-use efficiencies (IWUE)thanwild-typeplants. Results obtained in this studyhave shownanimportant role of cysteine proteases in plant growth anddevelopment and plant stress. Futureworkwill focus on identifyingthese OC-I sensitive proteases and investigating their individualfunctioninplantgrowthanddevelopmentandstress.

Pea is particularly susceptible to droughtand to Fusarium wilt caused by the soilborne fungal pathogenFusarium oxysporum, whose damage is favored by by warmtemperatures and dryweather. Loses caused by this pathogens arethus expected to be more severe and widespread in future due toclimate changes that also predicted an increase of drought proneareas. The use of resistant cultivars is currently the most efficientcontrolapproach.However,theexistingresistancelevelintroducedinlegume cultivar is still insufficient to control the disease. It is thuscrucial to identify and exploit new sources of resistance to F.oxysporum and drought. In the frame of the EU project, ABSTRESS,we initially established an optimum inoculation method suitable tostudy legume response to fusarium wilt and its interaction withdrought stress using the model legume Medicago truncatula. Thismethodologywas thenapplied to screena largePisumcollection toidentify pea accessions resistant to F. oxysporum. Twenty peaaccessionswerefoundhighlyresistanttoF.oxysporum.Theresponseof these resistant sources to combined fusarium wilt and droughtstresses were then tested under controlled condition allowingidentification of several accessions with high level of resistance tofusarium wilt and tolerant to drought. These sources of resistancewouldbeveryvaluabletointrogressresistancetobothstressesinpeacultivar.

As control, a drought-sensitive (CB46)genotypewasused.As expected, plants subjected to 25% of FC treatment alwayspresented higher stress levels. However, the Portuguese accessionsseem to present a reduced inducible drought response than CB46genotype, as evaluated by biochemical parameters. The highconstitutive levels of proline present in both Portuguese accessionsmayhaveresultedinreduceddroughtstresslevels,detectedbyH2O2quantification and lipid peroxidation, or by anthocyanin levels, ascompared to susceptible control.
