Scope note: Amplia familia de plantas caracterizadas por sus vainas. Algunas son comestibles y otras pueden causar LATIRISMO, FAVISMO y otras formas de intoxicación. Otras especies proporcionan materiales útiles como las gomas de la ACACIA y diversas LECTINAS como las FITOHEMAGLUTININAS obtenidas del PHASEOLUS. Muchas plantas de esta familia contienen en sus raíces bacterias FIJADORAS DE NITRÓGENO. Muchas, aunque no todas, de las especies de "alubias" pertenecen a esta familia.

Scope note: The large family of plants characterized by pods. Some are edible and some cause LATHYRISM or FAVISM and other forms of poisoning. Other species yield useful materials like gums from ACACIA and various LECTINS like PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS from PHASEOLUS. Many of them harbor NITROGEN FIXATION bacteria on their roots. Many but not all species of "beans" belong to this family.
