Plants Thriving with Enhanced Growth and Strong Aerial Development in Altered Gravity Environments

French biotech company Orius has reported promising early results from its gravity simulator, Gravilab, which evaluates plant responses under altered gravity conditions. The initial study focuses on mizuna, a fast-growing leafy green, revealing robust aerial growth, though root systems exhibit a tendency to spread horizontally rather than grow deep. The research team plans to further analyze root architecture and plant balance before advancing to more complex crops like the Micro-Tom tomato. Gravilab integrates advanced technology to monitor various growth parameters, addressing challenges related to irrigation and air circulation in low-gravity environments. These developments aim to create efficient crop production systems that could benefit both space agriculture and Earth-based controlled environment agriculture (CEA).
