Plants in Space

Annual Review of Plant Physiology, 1987
Space may be, as some have called it, our last frontier. As such, it provides novel, even unique research opportunities. Plants are sure to figure significantly in these activities. The ability to manipulate the force of gravity from near zero to 1 g affords fresh opportunities to investigate gravity's physiological effects as well as a means of ...

Plant cells on earth and in space

Korean Journal of Biological Sciences, 2000
Two quite different types of plant cells are analysed with regard to transduction of the gravity stimulus: (i) Unicellular rhizoids and protonemata of characean green algae; these are tube-like, tip-growing cells which respond to the direction of gravity.

Plants in space

Trends in Plant Science, 2000
A two-storey space plant laboratory at the University of Guelph (Canada), costing ∼$8 million when completely equipped, will be the world’s largest space garden facility for the study of plant growth under minimal atmospheric pressure. The facility will contain nine hypobaric chambers, each the size of a large refrigerator.

Space Plants in the Classroom

SAE Technical Paper Series, 2004
<div class="htmlview paragraph">A common question for students to ask educators is “When am I ever going to use this?” An excellent way to answer that question is to demonstrate how interrelated many subjects are. At ORBITEC in Madison, WI, we are developing systems to help teachers demonstrate the exciting interrelationships of science, math and

Conducting Plant Experiments in Space and on the Moon

2021
The growth and development of plants during spaceflight have important implications for both basic and applied research supported by NASA and other international space agencies. While there have been many reviews of plant space biology, this chapter attempts to fill a gap in the literature on the actual process and methods of performing plant research ...
