Preface
Welcome to Sendai! The aim of the 7th International Legume Conference (7ILC) is toprovide the world legume researchers with opportunities to share the common timeand experience by meeting up together, exchanging idea, and thinking about Legume
Systematics fo Next Generation. We will do our best to furnish you with good Omotenasi(hospitality in Japanese). We wish this conference in Sendai would be an unforgettable
ILC for all participants.

Plenary Speakers
Dr. Brigitte Marazzi
Natural History Museum of Canton Ticino, Switzerland
Brigitte Marazzi has been working with legumes for along time. Her PhD project at the University of Zürich,
Switzerland, which she defended in 2007, was on thecaesalpinioid genus Senna. Although the focus was on
mloral symmetries, she soon discovered the extramloral
nectaries, which became the focus of her 4 year-longpostdoctoral time at the University of Arizona, in Tucson(US). To understand extramloral nectaries in Senna, shestarted to explore them in the legume family. Fascinatedby the incredible diversity she was unravelling, shebecame interested in the study of morphologicalevolution.
While she worked for almost 3 years in Argentina at theInstituto de Botánica del Nordeste in Corrientes, she
extended her research to include ecological aspects at the community level. She also
formed and coordinated the Legume Morphology Working Group and the two legumemorphology meetings in Brazil. After she returned to Switzerland in 2015, the groupmerged with the Legume Phylogenetic Working Group.
Currently, she works at the Natural History Museum of Canton Ticino and the National
Data and Information Center on the Swiss Flora. She mainly deals with topics inconservation of endangered native species and monitoring of invasive alien species but
still continues her research on extramloral nectaries in and beyond legumes, and keeps intouch with the legume systematics community as the editor of the Bean Bag Newsletter.

biosystematics of some agamospermous plant groups in1980s and then made efforts to elucidate costs andbenemits of sexual andasexual reproduction in the
Eupatorium-geminivirus system. He discovered highevolutionary rate and high genetic diversity ofgeminiviruses infecting wild host plants, and higher
infection frequencies in asexual lineages. He also studied
the evolution of various sexual systems in mlowering
plants including cleistogamy and gynodioecy, and theevolution of diurnal and nocturnal pollination systems in
Hemerocallis and Lilium. Recently, he worked in some-7-

international programs including DIVERSITAS and GEO BON and since 2009 he has beena co-chair of AP BON (Asia-Pacimic Biodiversity Observation Network). From 2011 to 2015,
he directed a project “Integrative Observations and Assessments of Asian Biodiversity”
sponsored by the Ministry of Environment, Japan in which more than 100 researchers
joined. In this project and a subsequent project on plant diversity, he is collaborating withSE Asian botanists to record all the vascular plant species growing within 5m x 100m
plots placed in candidate hot spots of plant diversity in SE Asia. He and his collaborators
have accumulated more than 160,000 herbarium specimens with DNA samples, and DNA
barcoding of those specimens is in progress.

Dr. Erik Koenen
University of Zurich, Switzerland
Erik Koenen is a PhD candidate at the Institute of
Evolutionary and Systematic Botany(ISEB) at the
University of Zurich, where he works in the group of Dr.
Colin Hughes. During his MSc studies, at the National
Herbarium of the Netherlands, Wageningen branch(WAG) and Wageningen University, he completed ataxonomic revision of the African Meliaceae species
formerly included in the Neotropical genus Guarea andthen went on to work on molecular phylogenetics andbiogeography of Meliaceae. Upon moving to Zurich hestarted working on macro-evolution and phylogenomics
of mimosoid legumes (formerly subfamily Mimosoideae),
and has spent the last few years also working on thephylogenomics of the origin and early evolution of theLeguminosae. His work on mimosoids involved thedevelopment of hybrid capture target loci sets, and the same method has subsequently
been applied to design targets in diverse taxonomic groups. He remains having a strong
interest in herbarium taxonomy and is focusing on the genus Albizia and allies with theaim to redemine generic boundaries and to complete a taxonomic revision of the Africanand Asian species in the genus.

Dr. Gwilym P. Lewis
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, UK
Gwilym P. Lewis (PhD) is the legume research leader in
the Comparative Plant and Fungal Biology Department at
the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, where he has worked
since 1974. He is a plant systematist specialising in thetaxonomy, biology and geography of legumes in Latin
America. He has travelled and collected widely across theAmericas. Floristic studies have focused on Brazil, andEcuador (he spent two years, 1996-1998, living in Loja,
southern Ecuador). He has published 235 scientimic
papers and eight books. His publications include
taxonomic revisions and monographs, evolutionary
studies, and research on reproductive biology, mloral
anatomy, phytochemistry and biogeography. Monographic
work has focused on the genus Caesalpinia and he has
revised several smaller genera in the mimosoid clade and the Papilionoideae.
Gwilym helped organise the mirst International Legume Conference at Kew in 1978 and has
been a co-organiser or major contributor to the six subsequent international conferences
which have resulted in 12 proceedings volumes under the series title: Advances in Legume
Systematics. He set up the UK Legume Working Group in 1998 and co-founded theInternational Legume Phylogeny Working Group in 2010, which in 2017 published a newsix subfamily classimication of the legumes.

Dr. Ken Naito
National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, JapanKen Naito has been working on genomics of wild Vigna
species for the last 8 years. As a PhD student and a
postdoctoral fellow in University of Georgia, he worked
on a bursting transposable element in rice. During thattime he recognized the power of whole genome analyses
with next generation sequencers. Then he joined Genetic
Resources Center in
National Agriculture and Food
Research Organization, Japan. Although he was expected
to work on genetics of domestication in Vigna crops(cowpea, azuki bean, mung bean, black gram, etc.), he fellin love with the great diversity of wild Vigna species. So
he launched a genome project with his colleagues tosequence the whole genomes of 10 wild species. He
spent almost 5 years until he minished this project. His
focus is now salt
tolerance of wild Vigna species, where several species have
independently acquired salt tolerance. By genetic analysis and transcriptomic study, he istrying to elucidate evolution and application of salt tolerance.

During the past few years, Big-Data on plant species occurrence data, functional trait/
life form information, and genetic diversity data have been accumulated. These data are
expected to open new windows for Natural History Science. Individual projects havestarted in parallel focusing on different taxonomical, regional and ecological scale, andGlobal Scale integration is undoubtedly necessary. Yasuhiro Kubota has completed
global-scale occurrence data for woody plant species and is now estimating tree species- 10 -
