There are 4 ventilated greenhouse rooms at the Biotron which each measure 15 feet by 35 feet. These large rooms provide an economical option for large-scale seed bulking. The rooms are evaporatively cooled, and have RO water and supplemental light available in the room, as well as an automatic watering system.
The picture on the right shows a room containing Arabidopsis. The plants are sitting on top of ebb-and-flow benches. Along the left wall you can see the swamp cooler, and the creme-colored box hanging on the right side of the picture is a temperature sensor.
