Zinnias
Zinnias are flowering plants that were grown on the ISS as part of an experiment to study how plants respond to microgravity.
Arabidopsis
Arabidopsis, a small flowering plant related to cabbage and mustard, is often used as a model organism for studying plant growth in space due to its short lifecycle.
Potatoes
Potatoes have not been grown extensively in space yet, but they are being considered due to their nutritional value and versatility as a food source.
Soybeans
Soybeans are an excellent source of protein and have been studied for their potential to provide essential nutrients in space diets.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are rich in vitamins and minerals. While they haven't been grown on the ISS extensively, researchers are exploring their potential for space cultivation
