Plant Growth Facilities

Our recently refurbished and upgraded plant growth facilities consist of high specification glasshouses, purpose-built plant growth rooms and controlled environment chambers, to support Biosciences’ wide-ranging research in plant science and crop technologies.

The facilities are fully equipped to accommodate Containment Level 1 and 2 experiments. Precise environmental control enables cultivation of a diverse array of plant species under optimised and reproducible conditions.
