Department of Biology, now the Programme of Biology, is equipped with plant growth facilities for plant research at different levels. There are both regular and environmentally control greenhouses in our department. The weather-proof regular greenhouse is used for routine plant research and teaching activities. The environmentally controlled green house, which is weather-proof with temperature and ventilation controls, is dedicated for experiments requiring controlled and contained environment (e.g. genetically modified plants). There are also walk-in and cabinent-type environmentally controlled growth chambers, with temperature, humidity and light cycle controls, for small scale experiments that require controlled and contained environment.
