Expansion and Upgrade of the Newcastle Plant Growth Facility

纽卡斯尔植物生长设施的扩建和升级：该项目将升级和扩建纽卡斯尔植物生长设施，以确保持续供应竞争性资助研究项目所需的高质量植物材料。这一结果将通过更换已超过内置15年冗余多年的植物生长柜，以及在翻新的PC2空间中增加用于拟南芥研究的专业柜来实现。总之，这些基础设施的增加将提高植物生物学研究在植物发育和营养运输等核心领域的生产力和卓越性，这两个研究领域对解决未来的粮食安全问题至关重要。

Expansion and upgrade of the Newcastle plant growth facility: The project will upgrade and expand the Newcastle plant growth facility to ensure a continuous supply of high quality plant material required for competitively-funded research programs. This outcome will be achieved by replacing plant growth cabinets that have passed their built-in 15 year redundancy by many years, and the addition of specialist cabinets for Arabidopsis research housed in a renovated PC2 space. Together, the infrastructure additions will enhance the productivity and excellence of core areas of plant biology research in plant development and nutrient transport, which are both areas of research that will be critical to address issues of food security in the future.
