Plant Astrobiology

The Journal of Plant Interactions is pleased to invite you to submit your research to the upcoming Article Collection “Plant Astrobiology” organized by Guest Advisors, Dr. Raymond Wheeler and Professor Yoshiaki Kitaya.

Plant Astrobiology is an emerging field of research studying plant life in space environments. Observing and defining how plants react and adapt to stress conditions in the space environment is crucial to understanding how to cultivate plants in space for human nutrition, life support, and mental/body wellbeing.  

This Article Collection will cover but is not limited to the following topics:  

  • Plant responses to reduced gravity, reduced pressure, and artificial light conditions  
  • Cultivation of plants in Bioregenerative Life Support Systems in space (BLSS)  
  • Physiological responses of plants to spaceflight conditions  
  • Applications of plants in space  
  • Space greenhouses and production of food and oxygen
  • Plant phytochemical production in space environments  
  • Use of Remote sensing and biosensing technology in the space environment.

We welcome the following article types for this Collection:

  • Original Research Papers
  • Reviews
  • Short Communications
  • Technical Reports
  • Commentaries

 


All manuscripts submitted to this Article Collection will undergo desk assessment and peer-review as part of our standard editorial process. Guest Advisors will not be involved in peer-reviewing manuscripts unless they are an existing member of the Editorial Board.

Please review the journal scope and author submission instructions prior to submitting a manuscript.

The deadline for submitting manuscripts is 31st August 2023.

Please contact Marya Baig at [email protected] with any queries regarding this Article Collection.


Article Collection Guest Advisors

Dr Raymond Wheeler - Plant Physiologist, NASA, USA
Throughout nearly 30 years of scientific research, Raymond Wheeler has made significant contributions to a field of astrobotany through the space plant research and a deeper understanding of the roles plants contribute toward human life. Dr Wheeler has been working for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as a plant physiologist at Kennedy Space Center since 1988, where he has worked to make space farming a reality. He is also an alumni of UW-Madison, where he was a postdoctoral researcher studying bioregenerative life support systems at the Biotron Laboratory.
