Descripción

This research investigates the adaptation of sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas) to microgravity (through analysis of genes, proteins, and histology) and evaluates the impacts of space radiation on chickpea seeds (Cicer arietinum). The objective is to optimize crops for sustainable life support systems in space, aligning with NASA's Artemis objectives and the Brazilian space program.
