This study aims to investigate the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana on lunar regolith simulant to understand the challenges of growing plants on lunar regolith. We hypothesize that lunar regolith simulant will inhibit seed germination of Arabidopsis and early growth stages compared to control conditions. Insights from this research could develop strategies to advance efforts toward successful lunar agriculture.
