Abstract: The hypotheses of biosynthesis pathway and regulation of legume galactomannan are reviewed in this paper. Based on these, the references for vitro-synthesis, regulation and the site of biosynthesis of legume galactpmannan are provided. The perspective of the development of galactomannan is also involved.

Key words: legume, galactomannan, biosynthesis, regulation, site of synthesis
