This award will support Dr. Rakesh Minocha of USDA Northeast Forest             Experiment Station to work for eight months in the lab of Dr.                   Atsushi Komamine of Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan.  They will                collaborate in studying how polyamines regulate the cell cycle of               plants.  The effects of polyamine depletion on DNA synthesis and cell           proliferation, and the subcellular site (cytoplasmic vs nuclear) of             action of polyamines in DNA synthesis, will be investigated.                                                                                                    Polyamine metabolism has an essential role in the growth and                    development of plants.  Dr. Komamine's expertise with plant systems,            together with the availablity of synchronously dividing cell culturesof         the Madagascar periwinkle which have been developed in his lab, will            present Dr. Minocha with an excellent opportunity to broaden her                present experience with polyamines in animal systems.
