	On Campus 09/15/00--King Cotton: UT Austin biologists pioneer new method for cotton growth that could lead to improved ...
		Brown, holder of the Johnson & Johnson Centennial Chair in Plant Cell Biology, and his graduate student, Rong Feng, have developed a novel method for growing cotton fibers in submerged cell culture, which means they are growing plant cells away from the mother plant using liquid filled with special nutrients.
		Brown explained that previously, cotton fibers only could be produced in culture by floating the ovules (or seed) on the surface of a liquid medium.
		Their research is continuing into the molecular basis for the way the cotton fibers sprout when they are submerged in the culture.

		Like our second world's fair, the Louisiana World Exposition, held a century later, the Cotton Exposition was a financial failure but a popular success and brought lasting and positive changes to the cityscape: the early expo led to the development of Audubon Park; the 1984 fair triggered the revitalization of the Warehouse District.

		The New Orleans mint, whose coins can be identified by the "O" mintmark found primarily on the reverse of its coinage, earned a reputation for producing coins of a mediocre quality; their luster is usually not as brilliant as those of other mints, and center areas tend to be flattened and not sharply struck.
		As a result, today well-struck New Orleanian coinage is prized in the numismatic world.
		The building, constructed in the Neoclassical style like most 19th-century public buildings in the U.S. at the time, functions today at the north end of the French Quarter as a museum of both the minting activity and jazz music that has made New Orleans famous.
