Seeds are the building blocks of agriculture and the basis for much of the food we eat. Terrestrially, seed R&D and manufacturing is focused on increasing crop yield on arable land and increase stress tolerance of plants. These are both achieved via plant genetics and by understanding gravitropism. Plant genetics are the regulations of the plants genes that lead to things like drought tolerance, temperature tolerance, and salinity tolerance. Gravitropism, something that can only be removed by going to microgravity, is the response of the plant to gravity whereby the shoot of the plant grows up out of the ground and the roots grown down towards the water and nutrients in the soil. Ultimately, creating seeds that can grow in a more diverse set of conditions can lead to better plants and more food for the planet.
