Abstract
Biological databases play a central role in bioinformatics. They offer scientists the opportunity to access a wide variety of
biologically data centrally. In present days molecular data are available for many plant species which can be analyzed in relation to
taxonomic or evolutionary or affinity context for different plant species. Authors have tried to generate preliminary Bioinformatics
data for Leguminosae family species. As much as possible of a particular type of information should be available in one plat form. In
short we have made a database which includes all information of Leguminosae family which are found in Gujarat state of India,
which contains Botanical information of each species and Bioinformatics information with analysis at one platform. The creation of
such kind of database is reflection of interdisciplinary approach for current era where bioinformatics can play major role for botanical
database. Which is further extended by developing bioinformatics database and placed all such relevant information on a wide
platform for community in general as well as for scientific society in particular.

Introduction
Bioinformatics has evolved into a full-fledged
multidisciplinary subject that integrates developments
in information and computer technology as applied to
Biotechnology and Biological Sciences. Bioinformatics
uses computer software tools for database creation,
data management, data warehousing, data mining and
global communication networking.
Bioinformatics comprises of annotation, storage,
analysis, and searching/retrieval of nucleic acid
sequence (genes and RNAs), protein sequence and
structural information. This includes databases of the
sequences and structural information as well methods
to access, search, visualize and retrieve the
information.
Bioinformatics concern the creation and maintenance
of databases of biological information whereby
researchers can both access existing information and
submit new entries. Function genomics, biomolecular
structure, proteome analysis, cell metabolism,
biodiversity, downstream processing in chemical
engineering, drug and vaccine design are some of the
areas in which Bioinformatics is an integral
component.
Leguminosae family is one of the largest family that
contains thousands of species of Plants, Herbs,
Shrubs, Trees worldwide. This family contains more
than 250 species which are found in Gujarat state.
There are 3 subfamilies of Leguminosae family
which are, Fabaceae (Papilionaceae), Mimosaceae
and Caesalpiniaceae.
1 Methods
This database includes Leguminosae family’s each
species’ information like its description, taxonomic
classification, Locality in Gujarat state, its local name,
Pictures, Uses etc. This database also includes
Distribution of Leguminosae Family Members in
Gujarat state section where different regions of Gujarat
state included with Google map followed by list of
species which are found in that particular region.
