China grows rice and vegetables in space
China has grown rice in space, plants will be brought to earth by december this year china has done a great job in space. The Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) has reported in its research that Chinese astronauts have grown rice and vegetables on the Tiangong space station.
According to the information, there has been a tremendous success in the experiment in just one month. The long-stemmed rice seeds have grown up to 30 cm long. Whereas the rice grains with short stems are up to 5 cm long. thal cress is a representative specimen of many green leafy vegetables such as rapeseed, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts. There has also been a lot of growth in this.
CAS is used to understand how plants behave in space. Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher at the CAS Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences, told SCAP news that the two experiments will analyze the life cycle of each plant in space and explore how plants can use the microgravity environment to grow and increase production efficiency. to be done?
"Crops can only be grown in artificial environments that mimic Earth-like conditions," Zheng said, and "by comparing plant flowers, we can find crops more adapted to space and microgravity environments."
