Submission deadline: Thursday, 1 July 2027

This Special Issue will provide participants of the 5th Conference of the International Legume Society, to be held in Dubrovnik from 8 to 12 June 2026, with the opportunity to submit full manuscripts based on research presented at the conference.

The Special Issue maintains the thematic structure of the conference, encompassing the following areas:

  • Legume-Based Value Chains
  • Legume-based cropping systems
  • Biodiversity and beneficial plant-microbe interactions
  • Legumes for human and animal nutrition and health
  • Emerging technologies in omics-based legume improvement
  • Legume breeding
  • Legume tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses
  • High-throughput legume phenotyping
  • Legume crop modelling

Submitted papers will undergo the standard Legume Science peer-review process and, if accepted, will be considered for publication in the Special Issue, with the goal of ensuring rapid and wide dissemination of high-quality research presented at the conference and promoting further advances in the field.

Three articles may be published free of charge for contributions from researchers based in developing regions, provided that at least ten contributions are published in this Special Issue. In addition, Legume Science is published by Wiley, which has established several Transformational Agreements* and is a partner of Research4Life**, allowing Article Publication Charges (APCs) to be covered.

We look forward to receiving your contributions and to continuing the exchange initiated during the conference, that will bring together researchers and stakeholders from across the legume community.

Sincerely,

Guest Editors

Antalya 2010

Before ILS was born, our passion for football was already there! Just a few images remain of the Anyalia 2010 conference, a joint event of the 5th International Food Legumes Research Conference (IFLRC V) and the 7th European Conference on Grain Legumes (AEP VII).

How to become a member

Membership is automatic if you attend one of our conference, and it lasts three years. So, for example, if you attended ILS2 in 2016 you became a member until ILS3, in 2019. Then your membership expired and had to be renewed.

You can also become a member without attending our conferences. It’s enough to pay a membership fee of 50€ to the ILS bank account, IBAN ES87 0237 0172 2091 6858 6550. Click here for more details.

If you pay the fee don’t forget to notify our treasurer Diego Rubiales (diego.rubiales@ias.csic.es) and our webmaster Nelson Nazzicari (nelson.nazzicari@crea.gov.it)
