Abstract: Let be a vector configuration and
its corresponding toric ideal. The paper consists of two parts. In the first part we completely determine the number of different minimal systems of binomial generators of
. In the second part we associate to
a simplicial complex
. We show that the vertices of
correspond to the indispensable monomials of the toric ideal
, while one dimensional facets of
with minimal binomial
-degree correspond to the indispensable binomials of
.
