Biologist studies
beans, sorghum
By PATRICE KORANEK
Staff Writer
Today certain crops such as beans
and sorghum are undesirable
sources of foods because of their low
nutritional value. But genetic engi
neering being done by Timotny
Hall, head of the Texas A&M bi
ology department, soon may allow
more types of plants to be used for
food.
Hall has been working on regulat
ing the expression of genes in plants
such as the French bean, which has a
high level of the protein phaseolin.
Phaseolin is low in one amino acid,
methionine. As a result, the bean’s
nutritional value is decreased.
“We are working to increase the
amount of protein found in the
seeds to enhance their nutritional
value,” Hall said.
He already has transferred the
gene to a sunflower plant and come
up with a mass of tissue that makes a
bean protein high in methionine.
The new creation is called a “sun-
bean.”
“I hope to use this as a framework
for more research in crops like sorg
hum,” Hall said.
Increasing the amount of protein
in seeds is only one phase of Hall’s
research. Another aspect involves al
tering the genes in sorghum plants
Electrical
so that sorghum may be usedl
making leavened products
bread.
“Sorghum is missing certainff
teins called gluten which areiiti!|
the leavening process,” Hall said |
Gluten gives bread its tough,dt;
ticity quality.
Through genetic engineering
may be possible to alter the ptoB
structure of sorghum and useii|
we use wheat to make breads and!
reals, Hall said.
A third aspect of Hall's resfli
involves learning how viruses mu®
ply in plants, and finding out W
the viruses can be controlled. I
Much of the work Hall hast®
nleted was done at a biotechnoli
laboratory in Wisconsin beforcl
came to A&M in September.
Hall says he has been unabletoj
much research recently because?
facilities he needs aren’t ready vet]
Hall says he will continue djl
ing into tne department's progt^
before he makes any changesasl
partment head.
“My goal is to solidify thedef|
ment’s reputation as a first-raitf
search and teaching departuKj
Hall said. “Any university that
teaching its students the latestkJ
otechnology isn’t preparing ilf
for the future.”

United Press International
AUSTIN — The University of
Texas announced Wednesday it will
limit undergraduate enrollment in
electrical and computer engineering
because of a lack of faculty, facilities
and money.
UT President Peter Flawn said
that to maintain the undergraduate
enrollment in electrical engineering
at 1,500 students, admissions will
limited to 700 new students each cal
endar year.
Admission will be based on overall
academic achievement and poten
tial, he said.
Additionally, the admission of all
transfer, inter-college and intra-col
lege applicants to the electrical engi
neering curriculum will be sus
pended through the fall 1985
semester.
“It is inappropriate for ttiej
versity to admit freshmen and ini
fer students who perform '' f “|
their major and then deny the®|
privilege of completing theirdw
requirements within a reasonalra
riod of time,” Flawn said.
S ualified freshmen and tRu
icants who are deniedadu^l
to electrical engineering will
fered admission to other under? l |
uate engineering degree pM
said.
The enrollment limitation if
for the Depart merit of Electric jj
Computer Engineering followsfl
edents already set in the Sck' |
Architecture, the Law School |
School of Nursing, the Colle||
Pharmacy and the College of q
ness Administration.
