Effects of gamma radiation on engineered tomato biofortified for space agriculture by morphometry and fluorescence-based indices

IntroductionFuture long-term space missions will focus to the solar system exploration, with the Moon and Mars as leading goals. Plant cultivation will provide fresh food as a healthy supplement to astronauts’ diet in confined and unhealthy outposts. Ionizing radiation (IR) are a main hazard in oute...
