A modern plant molecular biology and biochemistry laboratory requires specialized equipment for quantitative analysis of changes in gene expression, protein abundance, enzyme activity, metabolite accumulation, and a host of other biological activities within the plant. Of equal importance is the ability to grow plants under tightly defined environmental conditions so that the results of analytical work, the results of hundreds to thousands of hours of work by researchers, most notably graduate students, are not rendered irrelevant because of changes in environmental conditions. The current application is to support the purchase of a reach-in plant growth chamber with provision for temperature and humidity control for the study of biochemical and molecular aspects of plant nitrogen metabolism.

现代植物分子生物学和生物化学实验室需要专门的设备来定量分析植物内基因表达、蛋白质丰度、酶活性、代谢物积累和许多其他生物活性的变化。 同样重要的是在严格限定的环境条件下种植植物的能力，以便分析工作的结果，研究人员，特别是研究生，数百到数千小时的工作结果不会因为环境条件的变化而变得无关紧要。 目前的申请是为了支持购买一个具有温度和湿度控制的伸入式植物生长室，用于植物氮代谢的生物化学和分子方面的研究。
