In all scientific endeavours, there is an absolute need for the ability to control and manipulate experimental parameters. Our research on plant, fungal and microbial biology requires an ability to grow our experimental organisms under precisely controlled and reproducible conditions in order to begin each experiment from the same "starting point". The controlled environmental chambers that we have requested will give us this basic capability along with the ability to manipulate temperature, humidity, light quantity, light quality and the composition of atmospheric gases. This fundamental tool will provide a common platform from which broad ranging research can be conducted; from the induction of gene expression by environmental factors, through the evolution of drug resistance and the ecology of plant host / pathogen interactions.

在所有科学工作中，绝对需要控制和操纵实验参数的能力。我们对植物、真菌和微生物生物学的研究需要有能力在精确受控和可重复的条件下生长我们的实验有机体，以便从相同的“起点”开始每一项实验。我们所要求的受控环境室将为我们提供这一基本能力，以及控制温度、湿度、光量、光质量和大气气体组成的能力。这一基本工具将提供一个公共平台，从环境因素诱导基因表达，到抗药性的进化和植物寄主/病原体相互作用的生态学，都可以进行广泛的研究。
