Tomato seeds that travelled to space as part of a scientific experiment showed results 20–30% higher than those of the control group. This was reported by the rector of Penza State Agrarian University, Oleg Kukharev, in an interview with Vesti news agency.
According to him, the superiority of the space seeds showed up across a range of indicators. Among them are germination, growth energy and yield.
Thus, according to Kukharev's data, the seeds sent into space turned out to be more productive than ordinary ones.
No other details of the experiment — in particular, its timing and the composition of the participants — are given in the report.
