Admin History: Gérard Duc worked for INRA from at least the early 1990s when he started corresponding with Bond and collaborated on a number of papers including 'Plant breeding as a means of reducing antinutritional factors in grain legumes' Bond, DA and Duc, G (1993) 'A review of the genetics of seed coat colour and hilum colour in field beans with comments on some implications for national listing and certification' Bond, DA, G R Croften and G Duc (1998), 'Seed multiplication problems arising from the existence of two genes for the absence of tannin in the seeds of Vicia faba L.' Bond, DA, G R Croften and G Duc (2000) and ' 'The Management of the Two Genes for Zero-Tannin in faba beans'. Duc is now Director of research at INRA (2019) with more than 35 years of experience in genetics and improvement of peas and feverole. He is the author of more than 100 articles. Determinate growth means that the bean plants stop producing new leaves (growing vegetatively) once the flowers have developed.
