I was worried for a moment that the first plants grown on the surface of the moon were going to be arabidopsis. After all they were described only as “Seeds for a rapid-cycle type of Brassica plant – basically, mustard seeds”, but further digging turned up that these are just a breed of Brassica rapa marketed as “fast plants.” Kind of cool actually. A generation time of only fourteen days.
