Root tropisms are important responses of plants, allowing them to adapt their growth
direction. Research on plant tropisms is indispensable for future space programs that …

Long-term manned space-exploration missions and the permanence of human colonies on
orbital stations or planetary habitats will require the regeneration of resources onboard or in …

Biochar has been used as a sustainable amendment to mitigate environmental risks,
improve plant growth and soil properties. This study conducted laboratory column tests to …

Understanding the response of plants to varied gravitational conditions is vital for
developing effective food production in space bioregenerative life support systems. This …

Gravitropism and phototropism play a primary role in orienting root growth. Tropistic
responses of roots mediated by gravity and light have been extensively investigated, and a …

Advancements in plant space biology are required for the realization of human space
exploration missions, where the re-supply of resources from Earth is not feasible. Until a few …

Gravitropism, the growth of roots and shoots toward or away from the direction of gravity, has
been studied for centuries. Such studies have not only led to a better understanding of the …

Long-duration space missions will need to rely on the use of plants in bio-regenerative life
support systems (BLSSs) because these systems can produce fresh food and oxygen …

Tropisms are essential responses of plants, orienting growth according to a wide range of
stimuli. Recently, considerable attention has been paid to root tropisms, not only to improve …

Root growth and their interactions can provide valuable information for the development of
asynchronous logic systems. Here, maize root behavior due to positive gravitropism and …
