In addition, growth chambers, electrophoresis power supplies, electrophoresis and electrofocusing apparata, circulating and shaking water baths, incubators, a cold box, and several refrigerators are available in the laboratory. The Department maintains two computer laboratories.

The computers are linked to the MSU internet system.

Greenhouse: The greenhouse facilities available to Dr. Yuceer in the Department of Forestry include a 32 ft x 104 ft greenhouse with three independent bays, each with QCOM controls, drip pads, gas heaters, air conditioning (one bay), and sodium arc lamps. This greenhouse has been covered with Exolite material, and the electrical control system is supported by an emergency/standby 35 kw generator to avoid loss of climatic control during failure of outside electrical service.
