I'm impressed to see the SPACE tomatoes from @JinkersonLab they are making space agriculture a reality #PlantBio23 @ASPB

@SahaySeema47 Thanks a lot for your positive feedback! We're glad you liked the talk and our work. 🌱🚫☀️

@Selasphorus1 The monetary cost of the time sunk into these terrible systems to 'stop' fraud surely cost more than the fraud and associated fines they are intended to limit

[Robert Jinkerson @JinkersonLab]

@giuliabono_ Thanks for your question, I couldn’t reply in the system so I will try here. How can SPACE tomato plants flower so early? We don’t know the exact mechanism but hypothesize the plants are or think they are stressed and then expedited flowering via the typical pathway.

Thrilled to share my insights in this recent @Forbes article discussing farms of the future! Thanks to Juergen Eckhardt and @KiraPeikoff @LeapsByBayer for writing the story

Crops grown without sunlight could help feed astronauts bound for Mars, and someday supplement dinner plates on Earth.

Congrats @ocean_keshi on your @FrontMarineSci work using cerium dioxide nanoparticles to mitigate ROS/RNS in #Symbiodiniaceae. Glad our lab could help your effort on this interesting approach and looking forward to seeing where you can take this idea! 🪸?
