Plant Growth Chambers & Greenhouses

Six chambers were constructed in 2012 in Eastlick B91. These chambers were built to conduct climate change research. Features of these chambers include:

  • specialization for growth of Arabidopsis
  • Low temperature (-10C) control
  • Elevated CO2 (up to 10,000ppm)
  • CO2 scrubbing (down to 250ppm)
  • features for studying atmospheric pollutants such as Ozone
  • HID lighting for high light levels
  • T5 fluorescent lights for flexibility in studying spectral effects
  • automated irrigation

All of these chambers are networked for data collection and remote access.

Plant growth chambers in both B97 and B91 Eastlick are part of our service center and are available for rent on a monthly basis by any researcher from any department.
