Studies with transgenic plants form a vital aspect of research conducted by plant biologists interested in understanding the function of various genes.  Such an understanding leads to increased knowledge about plant growth and development and will enhance our capability to produce more robust, higher producing plants for use as food, feed and in producing bioproducts including biofuels.  These studies using transgenic plants require the use of chambers where the temperature, light and humidity may be controlled.  This application to NSERC is made to obtain funds to purchase three such controlled environment growth chambers for transgenic plant research.

转基因植物的研究是植物生物学家研究的一个重要方面，他们有兴趣了解各种基因的功能。这样的了解会增加对植物生长和发育的了解，并将提高我们生产更健壮、高产植物的能力，饲料和生产生物产品，包括生物燃料。这些使用转基因植物的研究需要使用温度，向NSERC提出的这项申请是为了获得资金购买三个这种受控环境生长室，用于转基因植物研究。
