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.

扩建和升级纽卡斯尔植物生长设施：该项目将升级和扩建纽卡斯尔植物生长设施，以确保持续供应高质量的植物材料所需的竞争力资助的研究计划。这一结果将通过更换植物生长柜来实现，这些植物生长柜已经超过了多年的内置15年冗余，并在翻新的PC 2空间中增加了用于拟南芥研究的专业柜。基础设施的增加将提高植物生物学研究核心领域在植物发育和营养物质运输方面的生产力和卓越性，这两个研究领域对解决未来的粮食安全问题至关重要。
