The researchers tested a moss called Sanionia uncinata and a flowering plant named Colobanthus quitensis in simulated Moon and Mars soils, discovering surprising potential for lunar gardening. Experiments in Antarctica, show how these resilient species might pioneer our first steps toward space agriculture.
The Antarctic plants showed strikingly different responses to the alien soils.
