The EU GRAIN LEGUMES Integrated Project (GLIP, February 2004 to February 2008) is a large consortium aiming to integrate research relevant to grain legume species, combining activities in disciplines from genomics to economics. This project wishes to combine with other national or international programmes on legumes to provide a timely assessment of the progress in and prospects for legume research.
