This facility will be used for research that necessitates growing higher plants under controlled environmental conditions in sunlight. A large component of the usage consists of maintaining transformed plants under conditions in which they can flower and produce seed as rapidly as possible. This research involves understanding gene regulation by developmental factors and by environmental factors. A second major component of the usage is to maintain and propagate mutant lines used in research on gibberellin metabolism and light regulation of gene expression. The final major usage is to produce large quantities of normal plant material from many different species for use in research into tissue specific gene expression in tobacco, developmentally regulated gene expression in soybean and in Arabidopsis, the light-harvesting components of photosynthesis in a number of different species, gibberellin metabolism in maize and sunflower, and assessing the nitrogen fixing ability of alfalfa and fast-growing nitrogen fixing trees like Casuarina. Other usage includes the study of gene expression in response to ethylene and wounding, electrophysiological controls of plant cell plasma membranes, particularly in regulation of stomata, and the study of the phytoalexin response in rice.

该设施将用于研究， 在受控环境条件下的高等植物 阳光 使用的一个主要组成部分包括维护 转化的植物在它们能开花的条件下， 尽可能快地生产种子。 这项研究涉及 了解发育因素对基因的调控， 环境因素 使用的第二个主要组成部分是 保持和繁殖用于研究的突变株系， 赤霉素代谢和基因表达的光调控。 最后一个主要用途是生产大量的正常 用于研究的来自许多不同物种的植物材料 烟草中组织特异性基因表达， 在大豆和拟南芥中， 光合作用的捕光成分， 不同物种，玉米和向日葵中的赤霉素代谢， 评价紫花苜蓿的固氮能力， 像木麻黄这样生长迅速的固氮树。 其他使用 包括对乙烯反应的基因表达的研究， 创伤，植物细胞浆的电生理控制 膜，特别是在调节气孔， 植物抗毒素的反应。
