Alterations in physiological and biochemical characteristics of Prunus sibirica seedlings raised from spaceflight seeds.

ABSTRACT: The aim was to explore the alterations in growth traits, physiological and biochemical characteristics of Prunus sibirica seedlings raised from spaceflight seeds. The seedlings cultivated by the "Shenzhou XII" spacecraft carrying the seeds of superior clones of P. sibirica were used to observe their growth traits and determine physiological indicators. The results showed that plant height of Prunus sibirica seedlings raised from spaceflight seeds increased by 18-34% and internode length increased by 8-26%, but the number of primary branches, secondary branches, and leaves showed no significant change compared to the ground control. Leaf length and width of Prunus sibirica seedlings raised from spaceflight seeds were significantly higher than those of the ground control, with leaf length, w
