What plants (be specific if possible) would be suitable if I were to send specimens up and into space. I am researching for a paper. The environment these organisms would be placed in is as follows:

- microgravity (15% of earth normal gravity)
- day/night length in hours: summer - 18:6, winter - 12:12
- average 14.5 degree celcius temperature
- 67% sunlight (100% on earth)
- limited circulation
- the following atmospheric composition

element - earth proportion - valhalla proportion

- basalt soil with a higher mica content

I am looking to place the chosen plants in a dome attached to a space station which is 1250m in diamter and 71m at its highest point.

These plants need to be able to cope with the humidity, the excess of water and the higher co2.

Thankyou for your help. I would like this information as soon as possible, so my email is n_r_manning@hotmail.com.

they kinda look like martian plants anyhow :) and they got that whole hell called alterations o generations thing goin on.
