请拨资金用于购买和建造两个 温室与附加的头罩和室内 环境控制生长设施，包括三个 生长室和12个生长室。 温室是 设计为易于修改，以符合潜在的未来 转基因植物的繁殖规定。 三 其中一所房子的房间将配备冷藏设备， 冷却，以在夏季降低温度。 生长室和生长室将位于 大学的新生物科学综合体。 他们将提供 相对大量的环境控制空间， 常规植物生长。 商会将提供更多的和更多的 精确的温度范围（100至400 ℃）和光线范围（0至1200 微摩尔/光子m-2 s-1），以更严格地 明确的增长要求。 主要项目利用 拟议的新设施包括：天然植物杂交 群体（阿诺德）;调节基因活性在以后 胚胎发生（Galau）;植物育种结构和基因流 种群（Hamrick）;遗传和环境控制 花发育（Malmberg）;两个差异表达 多基因家系（Meagher）;环境对热休克的影响 和生长素调节（Nagao）;光敏色素结构和 转基因植物中的功能关系（Pratt）; C3植物的光合适应;转座 玉米和水稻中的元素（Wessler）;以及苔藓的发生， 乳草中的父权（怀亚特）。

Funds are requested for the purchase and construction of two greenhouses with an attached headhouse and an indoor environmentally controlled growth facility consisting of three growth rooms and 12 growth chambers. The greenhouses are designed to be easily modified to conform to potential future regulations for the propagation of transgenic plants. Three rooms within one of the houses will be equipped with refrigerated cooling to provide temperature reduction during summer months. The growth rooms and growth chambers will be located within the University's new BioScience Complex. They will provide relatively large amounts of environmentally controlled space for routine plant growth. The chambers will provide greater and more precise ranges of temperature (100 to 400 C) and light (0 to 1200 micro mol/photons m-2 s-1 at growth height) for more rigorously defined growth requirements. Major projects utilizing the proposed new facilities include: hybridization in natural plant populations (Arnold); regulation of gene active in later embryogensis (Galau); breedng structure and gene flow in plant populations (Hamrick); genetic and environmental control of flower development (Malmberg); differential expression of two multigene families (Meagher); environmental effects on heat shock and auxin regulation (Nagao); phytochrome structure and functional relationships in transgenic plants (Pratt); photosynthetic acclimation in C3 plants (Sage); transposable elements in maize and rice (Wessler); and moss phylogeny and paternity in milkweeds (Wyatt).
