“In addition to housing the main administrative functions of the (Horticulture) Department, the Plant Science Building has classrooms, laboratories specifically equipped for investigations of plant growth regulators, stress physiology, postharvest physiology, conventional and micropropagation (tissue culture), mycorrhizal symbiosis, nutrition (foliar and soil analysis), and other physiological and anatomical studies.

“Attached to the south side of the building are a state-of-the-art greenhouse complex and a conservatory.
