The objective of the National BioResource Project (NBRP) in Japan is to collect, conserve and distribute biological materials for life sciences research. The project consists of twenty-eight bioresources, including animal, plant, microorganism and DNA resources. NBRP Lotus and Glycine aims to support the development of legume research through the collection, conservation, and distribution of these bioresources. Lotus japonicus is a perennial legume that grows naturally throughout Japan and is widely used as a model plant for legumes because of such advantages as its small genome size and short life cycle. Soybean (Glycine max) has been cultivated as an important crop since ancient times, and numerous research programs have generated a large amount of basic research information and valuable bioresources for this crop. We have also developed a "LegumeBase" a specialized database for the genera Lotus and Glycine, and are maintaining this database as a part of the NBRP. In this paper we will provide an overview of the resources available from the NBRP Lotus and Glycine database site, called "LegumeBase".
日本的国家生物资源项目（NBRP）的目标是收集、保存和分发生物材料，用于生命科学研究。该项目由二十八个生物资源组成，包括动物、植物、微生物和 DNA 资源。NBRP 豌豆和大豆旨在通过收集、保存和分发这些生物资源，支持豆科研究的发展。日本野生大豆是一种多年生豆科植物，在日本各地自然生长，因其基因组小、生命周期短等优点而被广泛用作豆科植物的模式植物。大豆（Glycine max）自古以来就是一种重要的作物，许多研究计划为这种作物产生了大量的基础研究信息和有价值的生物资源。我们还开发了一个专门针对 Lotus 和 Glycine 属的数据库“LegumeBase”，并将其作为 NBRP 的一部分进行维护。本文将概述可从名为“LegumeBase”的 NBRP 豌豆和大豆数据库站点获得的资源。
