Percival Scientific and ISU Collaborate on The Effects of Climate Change on Plant Growth

Steve Whitham, professor in the Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology, and other researchers from the Plant Sciences Institute at Iowa State University partnered with Percival Scientific to create a first-of-its-kind research facility with customized chambers that a robotic rover could access. The "Enviratron" project focused on identifying plant genotypes most able to withstand climate change.

"These are not your standard chambers. They've been designed from the ground up specifically for the Enviratron project."
