The plan calls first for a care ful study of the fungus what it needs to glow, for example, and how its gets eneigy from sugars present in wheat plants. Little is known on the "body chemistry" of the fungus. Working with this basic infor mation, the scientists hope for eventual control through design of special new fungicides that are tailored to slop the peculiar ap petites of the fungus. In the past, the approach has been largely one of breeding new trains of wheat resistant to smut fungus. The fungus has proved so versatile, however, that it soon changes itself into a new strain that can attack the new wheat. The OSC project shifts the em phasis from the wheat plant ap proach one of finding a "weak spit" in the life cscle of the fun gus. Losses have been heavy. In 11)52, smut cost the Northwest an estimated $11. (i( K) (Kid. The 195.1 figure was less, thanks to the weather conditions unfavorable to the smut organism. Smut attacks the wheat plant by starting from seed or soil, growing up through the stem and finally reaching its ugly, black flowering slage about the time wheal matures. It discolors the wheat, sometimes stunts growth and culs yields. In Hie laboratory, the 28-day growing cycle oftiie fungus has been shortened to about 28 hours. The full-grown fungus is also considerably more "potent". Pesearch will be conducted jointly by plant pathologists of the agricultural experiment sta tion and biochemists of the sci ence research institute. The Ore gon Wheal commission and the V. S. department of agriculture granted special funds to OSC for the studies. I'lanl pathology workers are S. M. Diet, department head, and John i; ll.irdison, I'SDA. who is stationed at the college. Coopera tors from science research insti tute and the chemistry depart ment are Vernon II. Cheldelin, institute director, Robert W. New burgh and Charles A. ('bridge.
