| New Drug Doubles Size of
Plants
Washington, D.C.—The story of Jack's Beanstalk may not be so fantastic
after all.
Agriculture department plant scientists have found
a way to double the size of your favorite rose—or grow a pumpkin so big
you can't carry it to the cellar.
It's done by dousing plants with colchicine, a drug
derived from autumn crocuses.
The experts say repeated applications of colchicine
doubles the number of chromosomes—the tiny cells which carry heredity characteristics.
Dr. Hamilton P. Traub, who has made an exhaustive
study of the effect of cholchicine on plant growth, says a plant with extra
chromosomes is likely to be superior to those with a normal number, and
will transmit its characteristics to future generations.
Traub says the process has succeeded on various
types of plants, including corn, wheat, vegetables and shrubs.
But his outstanding achievement has been the development
of a "day lily" twice as large as any ever grown before.
Under the department's treatment, plant roots now
are doused in a cholchicine solution for eight hours, removed, and allowed
to "recuperate" in untreated water.
After six or eight "treatments," the plant is put
into the soil to pursue its normal growth—but with twice as many chromosomes
as it had before.
Traub doubts that the treatment ever will be
practical for most field crops because they would topple from their own
weight.
But he says "the sky's the limit" on flowers and garden
vegetables where artificial support can be provided. |

items written by or about our subject, a noted botanist. See especially
some
of his published works.
