Nasa scientists grew corn seeds in space and found something strange: How microgravity confused roots & shoots that normally know exactly which way to grow

Nasa scientists grew corn seeds in space: NASA conducted an intriguing experiment on corn seeds grown in the absence of gravitys guiding force. The seedlings developed healthy-looking tissues but grew in unpredictable directions, highlighting the important role gravity plays in plant orientation and growth. Other plants, including Arabidopsis, have also shown unusual growth patterns in microgravity.
