We have designed an experiment, which is called Space Seed, to investigate the effects of microgravity on the seed to seed life cycle of plants. We have carried out this experiment using a newly developed apparatus, which is called the Plant Experiment Unit (PEU) and installed in the Cell Biology Experiment Facility (CBEF) onboard International Space Station (ISS) KIBO module. The CBEF is equipped with a turntable generating artificial gravity to perform 1-G control experiment as well as micro-G experiment on board. Arabidopsis seeds sown on dry rockwool in 8 PEUs were transported from Kennedy Space Center to the ISS by Space Shuttle Discovery in STS-128 (17A) mission. This experiment was started on September 10, 2009 and terminated on November 11, 2009. Arabidopsis seeds successfully germinated, and the plants passed through both vegetative and reproductive processes, such as formation of rosette leaves, bolting of inflorescence stems, flowering, formation of siliques and seeds. Morphometric analyses of the plants on board were performed and obtained parameters were compared among micro-G plants, 1-G control, and the ground control. The Twenty-seventh Space Utilization Symposium (January 24-25, 2011. Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)(ISAS)), Sagamihara, Kanagawa Japan 第27回宇宙利用シンポジウム (2011年1月24日-25日, 宇宙航空研究開発機構宇宙科学研究所相模原キャンパス), 相模原市, 神奈川県 Number of authors: 19 資料番号: AA0065129055 著者人数: 19人
