The studv. under the direction of Robert a M.

Muir, associate professor of botany, will be an attempt to find what It Is about the chemical structure of some.organ- ic compounds that enable them to affect the growth of plants Muir sas the compound 2-4-D is a good example of such compounds. cnemist draws a "picture" of a 2-4D molecule on a sheet of paper resembles a six sided diamona hanging: from a chain. Each or the diamond's corners a "position" or "spot." Eact these positions or spots is occupied by an atom of some chemical element The number two and the number four spots in a 2-4-D molecule are occupied by chlorine atoms, a characteristic which gives the compound its name 2-t-D is a "nickname" for 2-t-DIchlorophenoxj acetic acid- It make a. difference, Muir what atom occupies spot. What the investigators nt to determine now is a happens if, for example, chlorine Is pulled from the number four position and another element Is subsbtuted or if 0x3gen "is "sent in" at the nuriiber i spot.

The fact that these regulators can sbmulate.as well as inhibit growth is popularly known, Muir sajs, but is the basis for much of their value. In fact, 2-4-D, the farmer's weed-killing friend, has several uses involving the promotion of plant growth.
