9628388 McKenna Support is sought for the acquisition and installation of controlled environment growth chambers in the biology department greenhouse. The addition of these chambers will significantly increase research capabilities in plant science, aid in recruitment of talented undergraduates, graduate students and new faculty, and provide a facility that can support precollege outreach programs designed to increase the entry of minority students in science careers. The installation of controlled environment chambers will extend and enhance ongoing research in the areas of plant anatomy and development, phytoremediation, plant ecophysiology, plant ecology, plant systematics, mycology, plant molecular biology and genetics. The facility will allow the institution to maintain experimental plant populations over long periods, maintain clones or plant families for genetic experiments, grow source material for cellular and molecular experiments including tissue culture, DNA analysis, and phytoremediation, maintain plants for systematic study, and design experiments under controlled environmental conditions to study cellular, physiological or ecological processes.

9628388麦肯纳支持寻求在生物系温室的受控环境生长室的收购和安装。 这些商会的增加将显着提高在植物科学的研究能力，在有才华的本科生，研究生和新教师的招聘援助，并提供一个设施，可以支持旨在增加少数民族学生在科学职业生涯的入学前的外联计划。 受控环境室的安装将扩大和加强在植物解剖和发育、植物补救、植物生态生理学、植物生态学、植物系统学、真菌学、植物分子生物学和遗传学等领域正在进行的研究。 该设施将使该机构能够长期维持实验植物种群，维持克隆或植物家族用于遗传实验，为细胞和分子实验（包括组织培养，DNA分析和植物修复）种植源材料，维持植物用于系统研究，并在受控环境条件下设计实验以研究细胞，生理或生态过程。
