Acquisition of a Shared Ultracentrifuge and HPLC for Plant Molecular Biology and Biochemistry Studies

该提案要求拨款购买一台超离心机和一台高效液相色谱仪。七名研究人员提出的项目都与植物科学有关，将利用所要求的仪器。项目包括：萜类生物化学、天然植物保护中的蛋白酶抑制剂、种子发育的分子生物学、植物基因表达调控、植物抗坏血酸代谢、根瘤菌与豆科植物共生的营养交换、叶片和种子的脂质生物合成。

This proposal requests funds to obtain an ultracentrifuge and an HPLC. Seven investigators have proposed projects, all dealing with plant science, that will make use of the instrumentation requested. The projects include: the biochemistry of terpenoids, proteinase inhibitors in natural plant protection, the molecular biology of seed development, regulation of plant gene expression, ascorbic acid metabolism in plants, nutrient exchange in the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis, and lipid biosynthesis in leaves and seeds.
