University Roundtable: To Boldly Grow (plants in space)  (back)
 
Description:
Plants are central to sustaining humans on the Earth, helping provide the oxygen we breathe and the food we eat, but can plants be used in a similar role in space? Department of Botany Professor Simon Gilroy will discuss the challenges that the weightlessness of spaceflight imposes on terrestrial biology and how current research is beginning to reveal how plants can grow and even thrive in such an alien environment.
