Cell study wins grant
The National Science Foundation has made a $30,000 grant to Dr. S. Eugene Fox, associate professor of botany, for two years of study on the relationship between RNA and cytokinins in the control of growth and cell division.
Cytokins is a plant hormone that induces cell division, a factor relating Dr. Fox's research to the larger area of cancer studies.
Two graduate assistants, Michael C. Chen from Taiwan and Miss Chander Kiran Sood, Calcutta, India, will work on the project.
Only very small amounts of cytokinins, with which the project is primarily concerned, are needed to induce cell division, Dr. Fox said.
Fox said the objective of the research is to undestand how a specific plant hormone causes cell division in plant and bacterial cells.
Other related aspects of the research are being supported by funds from the U.S.Public Health Service.
