Introduction to Seed Plants

Introduction to Seed Plants

Most plants are seed plants—characterized by seeds, pollen, and reduced gametophytes. Seed plants include gymnosperms and angiosperms.

Plant Tissue Culture

Plant Tissue Culture

Plant tissue culture is widely used in both primary and applied science. Applications range from plant development studies to functional gene studies, crop improvement, commercial micropropagation, virus elimination, and conservation of rare species.

Transgenic Plants

Transgenic Plants

Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

Cell Culture

Cell Culture

Most vertebrate cells grow in vitro attached to a substrate as a monolayer, called adherent cultures. The flasks and plates used to grow cells are chemically treated to facilitate cell attachment. However, a few cell types, such as hematopoietic cells, can grow in a suspension. In contrast to adherent cultures, suspension cultures can grow in non-treated cultureware using magnetic stirrers or spinner flasks to agitate the culture media

Area of Science:

Space Biology
Astrobiology
Controlled Environment Agriculture

Background:

The development of advanced life support systems is crucial for long-duration space missions.
Controlled Ecological Life Support Systems (CELSS) aim to create self-sustaining environments for astronauts.
Space-based agriculture offers a sustainable solution for food production in microgravity.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the design and operation of the "SVET" (Space Vegetable) small-dimension space greenhouse.
To present preliminary results from the cultivation of radish and cabbage in microgravity.
To evaluate the performance of the automated environmental control system in space.

Main Methods:

The "SVET" greenhouse, an automated environmental control system, was deployed on the "CRYSTAL" module of the "MIR" orbital space station.
Radish and cabbage seeds were cultivated for 54 days under controlled conditions.
Morphometric characteristics of plants were analyzed post-flight, and environmental parameters were monitored via telemetry.

Main Results:

Preliminary cultivation results for radish and cabbage in microgravity are presented.
Observed vegetation peculiarities include slowed growth, reduced development, and increased dry substance content.
The first-ever root crop of radish plants was successfully produced under microgravity conditions.

Conclusions:

The "SVET" space greenhouse demonstrates the feasibility of growing crops, including root vegetables, in microgravity.
The automated control system performed effectively, providing valuable data on environmental regulation.
These findings contribute to the advancement of space agriculture and closed-loop life support systems for future space exploration.
