Experimental data on plant cell reproduction, growth, and differentiation in spaceflight and
under clinostating that partially reproduce the biological effects of microgravity are …

Since the beginning of space exploration, researchers have been exploring the role of
microgravity, cosmic radiation, and other aspects of the space environment on plant growth …

The best strategy for supporting long-duration space missions is believed to be
bioregenerative life support systems (BLSS). An integral part of a BLSS is a chamber …

Although considerable research and speculation have been directed toward understanding
a plant's perception of gravity and the resulting gravitropic responses, little is known about …

ABSTRACT THE construction of a permanently manned space station will provide the
opportunity to grow plants for weeks or months in orbit for experiments or food production …

Spaceflight-associated stress has been the topic of investigation since the first terrestrial
organisms were exposed to this unique environment. Organisms that evolved under the …

Physiology of the root system is dependent upon oxygen availability and tissue respiration.
During hypoxia nutrient and water acquisition may be inhibited, thus affecting the overall …

This NASA Technical Memorandum is a compilation of presentations and discussions in the
form of minutes from a workshop entitled Plant Production Systems for Microgravity: Critical …

Previous spaceflight reports attribute changes in plant ultrastructure to microgravity, but it
