Interdisciplinary Facility for Plant Biotechnology

建立一个植物教学设施 生物技术支持教学模块，植物细胞， 组织培养课程和本科生研究。 该设施 配备层流工作台， 工作空间.照明培养箱和培养箱振荡器 严格控制光照和温度; 电穿孔系统，允许插入基因， 原生质体有能力吸收DNA;和蠕动泵， 泵送溶液通过学生制作的生物反应器中的细胞。 教学强调技术和 解决问题的能力。

The establishment of an instructional facility for plant biotechnology supports instructional modules, a plant cell and tissue culture course and undergraduate research. The facility is equipped with laminar air flow benches to provide sterile working space; illuminated incubators and incubator shakers for maintaining strict control of light and temperature; an electroporation system that allows insertion of genes by making protoplasts competent to take up DNA; and a peristaltic pump to pump solutions past cells in student made bioreactors. Instruction stresses the development of both technical and problem solving skills.
