This award supports the purchase of eight plant growth chambers and related equipment to be used for studies of major crop plants including maize, rice and tomato, as well as studies of other plants whose genetics and physiology are of general interest. These chambers are suited for high-throughput and large-scale projects that often require well-defined plant growth conditions, including light, temperature and humidity, or experimental treatments that are not possible without modern growth chambers. Planned uses include studies of plant-pathogen interactions, nuclear-plastid signaling, and light signal transduction in several major crop plants and in Arabidopsis. Use of such chambers allows investigators to standardize plant growth conditions that often vary widely from one research group to another. Such standardization facilitates verification of results by other investigators, as well as new investigations that build on the results of previous work.

该奖项支持购买八个植物生长室和相关设备，用于研究主要作物，包括玉米，水稻和番茄，以及其他植物的遗传学和生理学研究。 这些培养箱适用于高通量和大规模的项目，这些项目通常需要明确的植物生长条件，包括光照、温度和湿度，或者没有现代化的培养箱就无法进行的实验处理。 计划的用途包括研究植物-病原体相互作用，核质体信号，以及几种主要作物和拟南芥中的光信号转导。 使用这样的腔室允许研究人员标准化植物生长条件，这些条件通常在不同的研究小组之间存在很大差异。这种标准化便于其他调查人员核实结果，也便于在以往工作结果的基础上开展新的调查。
