Abstract
The following guidelines3 are proposed for reporting research conducted in plant growth chambers, especially for physiological studies. Greater detail concerning environmental conditions is being requested because similar studies conducted in different laboratories often result in different rates of plant growth and development. Investigation has demonstrated that these differences can be attributed to variations in certain factors of the environment, including soil temp, humidity, carbon dioxide and air movement, that often are unreported. Only when all factors in the environment are adequately described can studies be compared or the experiment be repeated in another laboratory. Hopefully, use of the following guidelines will enable investigators to achieve these objectives. The model paragraph outlined below can be filled in and utilized for detailing the environmental information in research articles.
