Integrated Plant Propagation Facilities

这项生物设施中心提案要求提供资金，以建立一个综合的植物繁殖设施。该设施将包括组织培养设施、生长室和温室。它的设计将使敏感的植物材料可以很容易地在组织培养工作区、生长室和温室之间转移，并将生物干扰和污染风险降至最低。核心研究小组既包括老牌的、资金极其雄厚的高级个人，也包括初出茅庐的调查人员。该中心的目标是成为植物、微生物及其相互作用领域的世界级中心。俄亥俄州立大学在人员和改造方面投入了大量资金，以建立设备齐全的现代分子生物学研究实验室。此外，主要的支持设施已经可用。这些资金将补充俄亥俄州立大学的倡议，提供发展世界级中心所必需的温室、头室、生长室和组织培养设施。

This Biological Facilities Center proposal requests funding to establish an integrated plant propagation facility. The facility will include tissue culture facilities, growth chambers, and greenhouses. It will be designed so that sensitive plant materials can be readily transferred between the tissue culture work area, the growth chambers, and the greenhouses with minimum biological disturbance and risk of contamination. The core research group includes both established, extremely well-funded senior individuals and beginning investigators. The goal of this Center is to become a world class center in the area of plants, microbes, and their interactions. Ohio State has invested heavily in personnel and remodeling to generate well-equipped modern molecular biological research laboratories. Also, major support facilities are already available. These funds will complement Ohio State's initiative by providing the greenhouses, headhouses, growth chambers, and tissue culture facilities essential for developing a world class center.
