Astro botany
Astro botany refers to the study of plants in outer space, including their growth, development, and adaptation to extraterrestrial environments. Researchers in this field explore how plants respond to microgravity, radiation, and other factors present in space, with the goal of understanding how to sustain life on other planets and space habitats. Astro botany combines elements of botany, space science, and astrobiology to investigate the potential for plant-based life support systems in space exploration missions.
