Nasa scientists grew corn seeds in space and found that microgravity changed how the seedlings’ roots and shoots grew
NASA’s recent experiments indicate that corn seeds struggle with directional growth in microgravity environments. Without Earth’s gravitational cues, the roots and shoots exhibit erratic growth patterns. Similarly, other plants like Arabidopsis thaliana face similar challenges in space. To prepare for longer missions, NASA is actively designing systems to counterbalance the absence of gravity, underscoring the…
