Better Crops from Space
New crop varieties can be made available faster from plants altered in the space environment. This reduced varietal development time may translate into billions of dollars for the farming community!
Through the benefits of genetic engineering and newly developed controlled environment plant growing facilities, improved varieties can be commercialized in less time.
Light Emitting Diode System
• Space environment enhances
plant genetic engineering.
Superior quality genes can
more easily be injected into
• Space cultures are hybridized
with Earth plants. Resulting
plants can then be developed
into new varieties. These
may possess qualities such
