Acquisition of Equipment for Plant Growth and Photosynthesis Measurements for Inquiry-Based Learning in Undergraduate education

这一奖项是为了奖励为研究植物生长和光合作用而购买的生长室和光合作用系统。研究人员正在研究植物应激反应和竞争问题，寻求栖息地和物种适应性变化的生理基础。这些工具将有助于学生创造力、实验室技能和科学写作的发展，同时解决现代植物生物学中的问题。这所本科大学非常重视在实验室课堂和独立研究项目中进行本科生研究。

This award is for the acquisition of a growth chamber and a photosynthesis system for research on plant growth and photosynthesis. The researchers are investigating questions of plant stress responses and competition, seeking the physiological underpinnings to changes in habitat and species fitness.These instruments will benefit the development of student creativity, laboratory skills and scientific writing, while addressing questions in modern plant biology. This undergraduate university places a strong emphasis on undergraduate research in lab classes as well as in independent research projects.
