Ten Botany courses in the Biology curriculum share a common need for environmental growth chambers where factors of light, temperature, and relative humidity can be regulated to observe their effects on plant growth and behavior. The wide range of biological phenomena being investigated using the two new PT-80 Percival Growth Chambers include the initiation of the sexual phase in algae and bryophytes, the study of physiological processes in various groups of plants, developmental differentiation in plant organs and in callus tissue, and the effects of environmental factors on growth, survival and competition in populations of native plants. The growth chambers also are being utilized in the study of ectomycorrhizae by General Mycology students, and in conducting tissue culture experiments in Plant Growth and Development and Biotechnology courses.

生物学课程中的十门植物学课程都需要环境生长室，在那里可以调节光、温度和相对湿度的因素，以观察它们对植物生长和行为的影响。使用两个新的PT-80珀西瓦尔生长箱研究的生物现象范围广泛，包括藻类和苔藓植物有性期的启动，不同植物组的生理过程的研究，植物器官和愈伤组织的发育分化，以及环境因素对本地植物种群生长、生存和竞争的影响。这些生长室还被用于普通真菌学学生的外生菌根研究，以及在植物生长与发育和生物技术课程中进行组织培养实验。
