The major research platforms of the Institute of Plant Biology include the Fudan Jiangwan controlled environmental facility, the Fudan Taicang Field Test Base, the Fudan Jiangwan Field Test Base and the Fudan Yangtze River Estuary Wetland Ecosystem Field Station. These platforms are in well operational status with managing staff and provide strong support for the scientific research of the Institute.
一、The controlled environmental facility

The controlled environmental facility was set up and put into usage in 2014, occupying an area of 2000 m2, including 28 artificial climate chambers with shelves, 6 daylight climate chambers, 11 intelligent greenhouses, 2 top light climate chambers, 2 cold storage rooms and a room for incubation reagent preparation. The system is currently running in full function.

二、The Fudan Taicang Field Test Base

The Institute set up an experiment field of 48,000 m2 at Taicang, Jiangsu Province in 2010. The field is surrounded by walls and fences and is equipped with simple workshops, dry shed, greenhouse, net fence, irrigation system and segregation facilities for transgenic research. Two technicians are responsible for the overall management of the field to ensure its proper running. The Field at Taicang is now the major platform for field studies on crops.

1、 (Dry shed, occupying 922 m2 with irrigation, drainage and seepage system, is designed for scientific research on draught resistance of crops)

2、Screen House equipped with bird net (occupying 8000 m2, can keep the birds and rats off the covered field and protect the experimental materials)

3、Operation room (occupying 280 m2, is the place for the preparation of experimental materials, storage and accommodations for researchers)

三、The Fudan Jiangwan Field Test Base
The Fudan Jiangwan experiment field, established in 2018, locates beside the controlled environmental facility, covering a land of 4800 m2. The Field is covered by stainless steal net of 4 meters high and surrounded by iron fences of 2 meters high. The Field has a water cycling system with ditches and a tank, and is fully monitored with restricted access.
