      The article arose from a lecture held by the author at the AMS Summer Institute in algebraic geometry at Santa Cruz, July 1995. It provides a survey on toric ideals, i.e., prime ideals of the polynomial ring \({\mathbb C}[x_1,\ldots, x_n]\) generated by binomials. Normality and, in the homogeneous case, projective normality of the respective varieties defined by toric ideals are discussed. An essential part of the article is devoted to systems of generators for toric ideals. Recent results concerning Gröbner bases, properties of Graver bases and degree bounds are presented. The article contains many instructive examples. Also many open problems and conjectures are formulated. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0882.00033].
