Abstract excerpt
The results of Arabidopsis investigations carried out on various space vehicles are summarized. It is found that space flight effects induce different genetic lesions in seed germs which may decrease plant viability and fertility and increase mutation frequency. The lethal effect of space flight is dependent on its duration and is related to accelerated seed aging.
