Which plants was first planted on the moon?
Answers
Answer:
potatoes, tomatoes and arabidopsis thalians were the first plants grown on the moon
Answer:
The experiment included seeds of potatoes, tomatoes, and Arabidopsis thaliana (a flowering plant), as well as silkworm eggs. These became the first plants grown on the Moon.
In general, plants can grow on the moon if all requirements for plant growth are artificially controlled such as atmosphere, water, sunlight, soil, nutrients, and microbial bacteria. Without these, plants from Earth cannot grow on the Moon.
The results show that plants are able to germinate and grow on both Martian and moon soil simulant for a period of 50 days without any addition of nutrients. Our results show that in principle it is possible to grow crops and other plant species in Martian and Lunar soil simulants.
