Dept of Plant Sciences, University of Reading
The Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Reading is a not particularly outstanding institute at an average university. The article says that the institute exists, and I'm not sure that much more can be said about it. Universities have a legitimate place in Wikipedia; institutes ought to be listed only when they are genuinely famous in their own right (the Cavendish Laboratory would be a good example).
