RUI: Acquisition of a Controlled Environment Chamber

将获得受控环境室以供使用 在植物学研究中。 A.J. Shaw的研究将 自然界性别比决定机制研究 Brasserites的人口。 单孢子培养物将 从人群中分离出来， 雌性配子体在生态上的重要特征将是 评估。 J.M.伯纳德将调查 生活史特征，包括 湿地无机营养与碳分配 植物，生长室将允许伯纳德博士和 与本科生合作， 通过在控制下测试假设的实地研究 条件 I.A.塔马斯将调查 吲哚乙酸（IAA）对植物生长的影响 使用转基因烟草植物的形态发生。 塔马斯医生 这项工作也需要在无菌条件下进行组织培养 转基因烟草植株的生长。 B.P. 史密斯将研究环境之间的相互作用 因素，如湿度和寄生螨， 确定蚊子种群的死亡率。 博士 史密斯的研究需要密切控制温度， 光周期和湿度。

Controlled - environment chambers will be obtained for use in botanical studies. Research by A.J. Shaw will investigate mechanisms of sex ratio determination in natural populations of bryophytes. Single spore cultures will be isolated from a population and differences between male and female gametophytes in ecologically important traits will be assessed. J.M. Bernard will investigate the effects of temperature on life history characteristics, including inorganic nutrition and carbon allocation, in wetland plants, Growth chambers will allow Dr. Bernard and collaborating undergraduate students to expand previous field studies by testing hypotheses under controlled conditions. I.A. Tamas will investigate mechanisms underlying the effects of indoleacetic acid (IAA) on plant morphogenesis using transgenic tobacco plants. Dr. Tamas' work requires tissue culture under axenic conditions as well as the growth of transgenic whole tobacco plants. B.P. Smith will investigate interactions between environmental factors, such as humidity and parasitism by mites, in determining mortality in populations of mosquitoes. Dr. Smith's research requires close control of temperature, photoperiod, and humidity.
