The current-voltage characteristic of a one dimensional quantum dot connected via tunnel barriers to interacting leads is calculated in the region of sequential tunneling. The spin of the electrons is taken into account. Non-Fermi liquid correlations implying spin-charge separation are assumed to be present in the dot and in the leads. It is found that the energetic distance of the peaks in the linear conductance shows a spin-induced parity effect at zero temperature T. The temperature dependence of the positions of the peaks depends on the non-Fermi liquid nature of the system. For non-symmetric tunnel barriers negative differential conductances are predicted, which are related to the participation in the transport of collective states in the quantum dot with larger spins. Without spin-charge separation the negative differential conductances do not occur. Taking into account spin relaxation destroys the spin-induced conductance features. The possibility of observing in experiment the predicted effects are briefly discussed.
