- Title
Growth Physiology of the Wheat Seedling in Space.
- Authors
Lyon, Charles J.
- Abstract
The article focuses on a study which investigated the growth physiology of the wheat seedling during orbital flight under the BIOSATELLITE experiment. A holder system was developed by a group of experimenters and engineers to hold at least 12 seeds. The seeds were supplied with water for 3 days of growth and leaving the embryo free to develop with the coleoptile. Inspection and photographs of the seed holders showed two sets of plants in the fixation chambers which had very short organs. The live plants in the other two chambers had grown longer in orbit.
