“…The vast range of morphological variation (from tiny herbs to large trees) and ecological adaptation (from coastal sand dunes to montane forests) pose challenges for resolving phylogenetic relationships using taxonomic methods (Drummond et al, 2012). Comparisons of nuclear and chloroplast DNA sequences (Ainouche and Bayer, 1999;Wink and Mohamed, 2003;Ainouche et al, 2004;Ree et al, 2004;Drummond and Hamilton, 2007;Drummond, 2008;Eastwood et al, 2008b;Drummond et al, 2012) have made some progress toward resolving Lupinus phylogeny, but ambiguities still remain. Current efforts are underway to sample large gene sets obtained by whole transcriptome sequencing across New World Lupinus (C. Hughes, G. Atchison, D. Filatov, personal communication), which should definitively answer these remaining questions.…”

“…The tribe Genisteae belongs to the basal Genistoid clade, which diverged early in the evolution of the Papilionoid legumes (Lavin et al, 2005). Like other Genistoid legumes, Genisteae species synthesize quinolizidine alkaloids, bitter compounds that provide a defense against pathogens and predators ( Bunsupa et al, 2013;Wink and Mohamed, 2003).…”

“…genistein and rotenone are common in subfamily Faboideae whereas non-protein amino acids (e.g. canavanine and mimosine) are present in most tribes except Cercideae, Podalyrieae and Psoraleeae (Wink and Mohamed, 2003). In the same study isoflavonoids have been reported in most members of the tribes Genisteae, Desmodieae and Phaseoleae and all of the members of the tribes Trifolieae and Sophoreae.…”

The diversity of legumes, indigenous to South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland is reported using recorded descriptive and distribution data. A total of 24 tribes, 118 genera and 1662 species were documented with the majority of genera belonging to subfamily Faboideae, tribe Phaseoleae, and the majority of species to tribe Crotalarieae. In terms of distribution patterns, most species were present in the Savanna Biome and Central Bushveld Bioregion. Even though most tribes contain species with secondary metabolites (mainly non-protein amino acids), tribes containing poisonous species are far fewer. Herbs are the key growth form, followed by shrubs, dwarf shrubs and trees. The majority of species are perennials. A map representing the collection intensity for the study area showed that the majority of legumes species were collected in the Fynbos, Savanna and Grassland Biome. It is concluded that indigenous South African legumes are extremely diverse and this denotes the importance of further investigating their forage potential or use in other agricultural practices.

“…The phytochemicals of the legume crops are well documented. Plants always produce a complex mixture of secondary metabolites which usually consist of members from different groups, such as polyphenol, terpenoids [14]- [16]. Among the secondary metabolites, some have allelopathic effects in some legumes such as in P. sativum [17], velvet bean (Mucunapruriens) [18], G. max [19]- [21], and C. arietinum [22].…”

Plant releases many bioactive chemicals from its various parts such as leaves, stem, root and sometimes decomposed body through different mechanism into its surrounding environment. These bioactive chemicals are often termed as allelochemicals because they interact with the surrounding environment. This interaction is either positive or negative. Effects of allelochemicals to the agricultural and biological ecosystem are well documented. In leguminosae family many species are involved in releasing of allelochemicals. Many researchers found that this allelochemicals have both positive and detrimental effects on the successive legume crops. Legume monoculture is common in many parts of the world where they cause a numbers of ecological and economic problems such as decline in crop yield due to soil sickness, regeneration failure and replant problem. These negative effects of allelochemicals open a great concern on allelopathy research. This article reviews the adverse effects of allelochemicals, their extraction and isolation, mechanism inside the plant body. These all are done to find out the possible selection methods of succeeding crops to avoid the allelopathic effects in the next crop of a monoculture farm field. The main purpose of this article is to highlight the adverse allelopathic effects of legume crops to provide ways for sustainable development in agro-ecosystem.
