Reference is made to the Cosmos 782 experiment, which showed that cultured totipotent cells of carrot can give rise to embryos with well-developed roots but minimally developed shoots at near-zero g. The problem of whether the development of leafy shoots is sensitive to near-zero g conditions is considered. A test system that would allow this problem to be resolved in a future space flight is described.
