Microgreens, such as red (purple) mizuna, have been considered as spaceflight candidate crop plants to be integrated in bioregenerative life support systems for long-duration spaceflight. This is due to their high nutrient density, relatively fast developmental cycles, low horticultural energy, water needs and minimal space requirements. It is therefore important to develop space plant life-support systems capable of mitigating any potentially detrimental effects associated with crop responses to spaceflight related stressors; such as microgravity and light variation. This study focuses on identifying phenotypic variation in the development of red (purple) mizuna grown  under blue light in a 2D clinostat to simulate the lack of a gravity vector found within true microgravity.
