About this listen
In this episode of Cultivating Curiosity, host Taylor Clem speaks with Dr. Wagner Vendramé, a professor at the University of Florida, about his groundbreaking research on how plants adapt to microgravity in space. The conversation covers Dr. Vendramé's journey into space research, the impact of microgravity on plant cells, current experiments involving seeds sent to the International Space Station, and the role of cryopreservation in preserving plant material. The discussion also highlights the potential implications of this research for agriculture on Earth and the future of space-based plant science.
