9313436 Guiltinan This award allows Pennsylvania State University to renovate their complex of six greenhouses, a total of about 28,500 square feet of research and research training space. These greenhouses were built in 1949 and have not undergone any renovation since that time. The types of research carried out in this space include control of plant gene expression, control of plant cell expansion, biosynthesis of starch, plant growth regulation, effects of air pollutants on plants, and the molecular basis of cell recognition in plants. These greenhouses are also used for various graduate and undergraduate courses in plant science and specifically an interdisciplinary training program in advanced root biology. These facilities are used by 20 faculty, 8 postdoctoral fellows, 60 graduate students and about 145 undergraduate students. Thus, the renovations will impact a large number of mature researchers and existing research projects but a larger number of students being trained in biotechnology issues concerning plant science. This modernization project is important because of it's potential regional and national impact on the growing biotechnology infrastructure. ***

9313436 GUILTINAN该奖项允许宾夕法尼亚州立大学翻新他们的六个温室，共有约28,500平方英尺的研究和研究培训空间。 这些温室建于1949年，从那时起就没有进行任何翻新。 在此空间中进行的研究类型包括控制植物基因表达，控制植物细胞扩张，淀粉的生物合成，植物生长调节，空气污染物对植物的影响以及植物中细胞识别的分子基础。 这些温室还用于植物科学的各种研究生和本科课程，尤其是高级根生物学的跨学科培训计划。 这些设施由20位教职员工，8名博士后研究员，60名研究生和约145名本科生使用。因此，翻新将影响大量成熟的研究人员和现有的研究项目，但在有关植物科学方面的生物技术问题进行培训。 该现代化项目很重要，因为它对不断增长的生物技术基础设施的潜在区域和国家影响。 ***
