Item DB/2/1/3 - Two Genes for Zero-Tanin Paper by GRA Croften, DA Bond and G Duc

Extent: 1 folder

Drafts, correspondence and editing issues concerning the publication of collaborative work on the absence of tannin in Vicia faba beans and problems arising from cross contamination (white flowered beans being tannin-free had improved nutritional quality): G R A Croften (Tony), D A Bond and Gérard Duc collaborated on three papers: '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' (1998), 'Seed multiplication problems arising from the existence of two genes for the absence of tannin in the seeds of Vicia faba L.' (2000) and ' 'The Management of the Two Genes for Zero-Tannin in faba beans'. They made a translation of an associated paper by Dr Jean Picard: 'Apercu sur l'herédité du caractére absence de tannins dans les graines de féverole (Vicia faba L.)', J Picard (1976): 'An account of the inheritance of the absence of tannin character in the seeds of the field bean (Vicia faba L).' Correspondents include: G R A Croften (Tony), Gérard Duc, Dr Jean Picard (France), K Nagel (Austria), Robert Oostveen (Netherlands), Mrs Winkler, Dr Able Jan Bouwman (Cebeco Zaden, Netherlands), Dr Morten H Poulsen (Denmark), Andre Blondeau (France), various seed companies. Paper: 'Feeding value for pigs and poultry of isogenic fababean genotypes (Vicia faba) involving zero tannin and low vicine-convicine genes', Gérard Duc et al. Paper: 'Genetic variability for feeding value of faba bean seeds (Vicia faba): Comparative chemical composition of isogenics involving zero-tannin and zero-vicine genes', G Duc, P Margett, R Esnault, J Le Guen and D Bastianelli. Paper (copy): 'The Field Bean Breeding Programme at the Welsh Plant Breeding Station', D A Lawes.
