Upgrade and expansion of Newcastle Plant Growth Facility

该项目将升级和扩建纽卡斯尔植物生长设施。升级将改善温室环境，以生产高质量的植物材料。这一结果将通过增加太阳透射率和更有效地控制温度来实现。扩建将满足对标准和PC2植物生长空间的未满足需求。这些基础设施的增加将共同提高纽卡斯尔植物生物学研究的核心领域在营养运输、细胞发展以及环境管理和修复方面的生产率和卓越表现。此外，它们将在植物生物学与转基因生殖疫苗交付和植物修复之间的界面上支持新的合作倡议。

The project will upgrade and expand the Newcastle Plant Growth Facility. The upgrades will improve glasshouse environments for the production of high quality plant material. This outcome will be achieved through increasing solar transmittance and more effective temperature control. Expansion will address unmet demand for standard and PC2 plant growth space. Together the infrastructure additions will enhance productivity and excellence of core areas of plant biology research at Newcastle in nutrient transport, cell development as well as environment management and rehabilitation . In addition, they will underpin new collaborative initiatives at the interfaces between plant biology with transgenic delivery of reproductive vaccines and phytoremediation.
