Al4—Lancaster Fannie, Friday, December 24,1962 WASHINGTON, D.C. - Wheat can be made an even more nutritious food for the world’s hungry if a genetic puzzle about this food staple can be solved. , The puzzle: How to change the plant’s herldltary pattern. Frank C. -Greene, a chemist pursuing food protein research, said be hopes to find a solution through gene splicing techniques he is developing for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service in Berkeley, Calif. Greene will work on the genetic puzzle in a gene splicing ex periment that the research agency has selected to receive the T.W. Edminster award honoring its outstanding research proposal for 1982. Edminster was the agency’s administrator from 1971 to 1980. Terry B. Kinney, Jr., who suc ceeded Edminster, presented the award to Greene in Berkeley last Monday.

Olin D- Anderson, a young biochemist from DeQuincy, La., has been chosen as the research associate, Kinney said. Anderson previously wasinvolved in'.' a postdoctoral study at the University of California, Berkeley, on the way genetic material or DNA is expressed in plants and animals. Greene’s proposal was chosen from among those submitted by 48 scientists at agency research locations throughout the country. Kinney said the award and research associate appointment, now in the second year, are part of the efforts by the Agricultural Research Service to recruit and encourage outstanding young talent in the scientific community to carry out basic research in the agency. .
