Acquisition of Nine Controlled - Environment Group Chambers

将利用9个受控环境植物生长室来提供在植物生理和生物化学领域进行重要研究所需的气候控制。具体的研究包括：1)C3-C4中间植物的碳代谢，2)在超适光强下光合作用的调节，3)稳定碳同位素在研究C3和C4光合作用途径整合中的作用；4)真菌菌丝在寄生或互惠关系形成过程中的调节。

Nine controlled-environment plant growth chambers will be utilized to provide the climate control necessary to conduct important studies in the area of plant physiology and biochemistry. Specific studies include the investigation of: 1) carbon metabolism in C3-C4 intermediate plants, 2) the regulation of photosynthesis at super-optimal light intensities, 3) the utility of stable carbon isotopes in studying the integration of the C3 and C4 photosynthetic pathways and 4) the regulation of fungal hyphae during the formation of parasitic or mutualistic relationships.
