Plants will be necessary for space exploration and colonization to sustain sources for food, feed and fiber. The spaceflight and planetary environments represent novel challenges that lie outside the evolutionary experience of terrestrial organisms. It is imperative that we understand the impact of these environments on plant health and productivity, and that we use these insights to select and engineer plant lines to optimize their adaptability. In addition to tools of genetic engineering, there exists a wealth of genetic variation in natural populations relevant for space exploration.
