Acquisition of Plant Growth Chambers at the University of Nevada-Reno

这项建议要求拨款在开发计划署建立一个核心植物生长室设施。植物生长室是植物生物学研究的重要设备。它们为科学家提供了创造植物条件的能力。从植物与环境相互作用的研究到转基因植物的生产，温度、光周期、光强和湿度的控制是研究项目所必需的。植物生物学研究项目的发展一直是内华达大学里诺分校农学院的一个重要重点。这样一个核心设施的发展对于许多新植物生物学教师的研究项目的成功发展和我们更成熟的教师的持续研究生产力都是必不可少的组成部分。这个植物生长室设施最初将支持来自学院机构三个部门的六名教员的研究项目。

This proposal requests funds to establish a core plant growth chamber facility at UNR. Plant growth chambers are important pieces of equipment for plant biology research. They provide scientists with the capacity to produce plants conditions. Control of temperature, photoperiod, light intensity and humidity are necessary for research projects ranging from investigations of plant-environment interactions to production of transgenic plants. Development of research programs in plant biology has been an important focus within the College of Agriculture at the University of Nevada-Reno. The development of such a core facility is an essential component in both the successful development of the research programs of many of these new plant biology faculty and the continued research productivity of our more established faculty members. This plant growth chamber facility will initially support the research programs of six faculty members from three departments within the College os agencies.
