PHYTOTRON

At NC State, we have a Phytotron with Plant Controlled Environmental Laboratories located on North Campus and Centennial campus. A Plant Controlled Environmental Laboratory is a facility for growing plants under various combinations of precisely controlled environmental conditions. The laboratories are designed for studies of the response of plants to their environment and many combinations of environmental factors can be studied simultaneously. We are able to control light quality, day length, temperature, humidity, CO2, water, nutrients, soil composition, etc... The North Campus Phytotron first opened in May 1968 and after more than 50 years, has gone through major renovations to modernize the facility. Today, the North Campus Phytotron houses more than 70 growth chambers, four air conditioned rooftop greenhouses and a Biocontainment Lab with a greenhouse. It also has several laboratories including the NCSU Plant Transformation Laboratory... The Centennial Phytotron is located in..
