Introduction

The transgenic greenhouse (TGH) facility was launched on 13 December 2010. The TGH is a gated facility that was designed and constructed to comply with International Biosafety Standards for research in plant biotechnology at Physical Containment Level 2 (PCL-2). It is a research facility of the Institute of Plantation Studies (IKP), Universiti Putra Malaysia.

The TGH facility includes 3 modern greenhouses built and operated according to Physical Containment Level 2 Guidelines of Australia & New Zealand which it is annually certified as compliant. Besides three independently controlled greenhouse units, it also consists a preparation room and supporting office space.  The facility supports plant biotech research by academics, students and is available for use by plant biotechnology research partners.

The TGH is designed to meet the current and future needs of plant biotechnology fundamental and applied research. We can house your biotech plants in a safe, controlled and monitored environment in compliance with International Biosafety Standards, to help you move your plant biotech projects towards practical application.
