Scientist study plants at a magnified level by creating images of plant cells.

Scientist conduct a wide range of detailed studies of bio-molecules including proteins, DNA, carbohydrates, lipids, hormones, etc. Studies often aim to identify molecules.

Conveyor that holds 1140 pots. This area will capture data in less time and with greater accuracy than the Center has ever been able to do before. The benefit of this action is to allow researchers to study leaf formation of four plants used for biofuel research.

Where the plant transformation process occurs. The equipment found in this facility allows scientists to create transgenic plant lines.
