Expansion and Upgrade of the Newcastle Plant Growth Facility

扩建和升级纽卡斯尔植物生长设施：该项目将升级和扩大纽卡斯尔植物生长设施，以确保持续供应竞争资助的研究项目所需的高质量植物材料。这一结果将通过更换已超过其内置15年冗余多年的植物生长柜，以及在翻新的PC2空间中增加用于拟南芥研究的专家柜来实现。总之，基础设施的增加将提高植物生物学研究的核心领域在植物发展和养分运输方面的生产力和卓越程度，这两个领域的研究将对解决未来的粮食安全问题至关重要。

Expansion and upgrade of the Newcastle plant growth facility: The project will upgrade and expand the Newcastle plant growth facility to ensure a continuous supply of high quality plant material required for competitively-funded research programs. This outcome will be achieved by replacing plant growth cabinets that have passed their built-in 15 year redundancy by many years, and the addition of specialist cabinets for Arabidopsis research housed in a renovated PC2 space. Together, the infrastructure additions will enhance the productivity and excellence of core areas of plant biology research in plant development and nutrient transport, which are both areas of research that will be critical to address issues of food security in the future.
