Acquisition of Plant Growth Chambers at the University of Nevada-Reno

该提案要求提供资金，以便在核反应堆建立一个核心植物生长室设施。植物生长室是植物生物学研究的重要设备。它们为科学家提供了创造植物条件的能力。从植物-环境相互作用的研究到转基因植物的生产，对温度、光周期、光照强度和湿度的控制是必要的。植物生物学研究项目的发展一直是内华达大学雷诺分校农业学院的一个重要重点。这种核心设施的开发对于许多新的植物生物学教员的研究项目的成功开发以及我们更成熟的教员的持续研究生产力来说都是必不可少的组成部分。这个植物生长室设施最初将支持来自学院操作系统机构内三个系的六名教职员工的研究计划。

This proposal requests funds to establish a core plant growth chamber facility at UNR. Plant growth chambers are important pieces of equipment for plant biology research. They provide scientists with the capacity to produce plants conditions. Control of temperature, photoperiod, light intensity and humidity are necessary for research projects ranging from investigations of plant-environment interactions to production of transgenic plants. Development of research programs in plant biology has been an important focus within the College of Agriculture at the University of Nevada-Reno. The development of such a core facility is an essential component in both the successful development of the research programs of many of these new plant biology faculty and the continued research productivity of our more established faculty members. This plant growth chamber facility will initially support the research programs of six faculty members from three departments within the College os agencies.
