Space farming has advanced from basic plant growth experiments to the production of a limited variety of fresh foods. ● Successful Crops: Salad crops like lettuce, mizuna, pak choi, kale, and even chile peppers have been successfully grown in space. [8] ● Dwarf Pepper and Tomato Experiment:...
In terms of the association between abiotic stress tolerance and the plant growth stage, it has been demonstrated that plant resistivity to certain abiotic stresses varies from one growth stage to another. Thus, the current study focused on elucidating the genotypic variation of wheat under two stag...
“It is one of the most complex plant experiments on the station to date because of the long germination and growing times,”explainedMatt Romeyn, principal investigator for Plant Habitat-04. “We have previously tested flowering to increase the chance for a successful harvest because astronauts wi...

The days to flowering were also significantly delayed in all genotypes (p < 0.001). The shortest delay was observed in indica (3.45%), then japonica_2 (6.43%), and japonica_1 suffered the most noticeable delay (8.60%). The pigment content was consistent with visual observation. Anthocyanins...
