Legumes such as common bean, soybean, and pigeonpea can show either a determinate (DT) or indeterminate (IDT) growth habit. In chickpea, the occurrence of DT, whereby stem and branch apices terminate in flowers, has been reported recently by van Rheenen et al. (1994), but the DT plants were female sterile (FS). The character is controlled by two genes — Cd. to express the character, and Dt to express determinacy. As determinacy is potentially useful both under conditions of excessive vegetative growth, and severe drought, the search continued for DT fertile plants.
