Abstract

Growing food autonomously on Mars is challenging due to the Martian soil's low nutrient content and high salinity. Understanding how plants adapt and evaluating their nutritional attributes are pivotal for sustained Mars missions. This research delves into the regeneration, stress tolerance, and dietary metrics of sweet potato () across different Mars Global Simulant (MGS-1) concentrations (0, 25, 50, and 75%). In our greenhouse experiment, 75% MGS-1 concentration significantly inhibited sweet potato growth, storage root biomass, and chlorophyll content. This concentration also elevated the plant tissues' HO, proline, and ascorbic acid levels. Higher MGS-1 exposures (50 and 75%) notably boosted the vital amino acids and sugar groups in the plant's storage roots. However, increased MGS-1 concentrations notably diminished the total C:N ratio and elemental composition in both the vines and storage roots. In summary, sweet potato exhibited optimal growth, antioxidant properties, yield, and nutrient profiles at 25% MGS-1 exposure as compared to higher concentrations. This study underscores the need for future interventions, like nutrient enhancements and controlled metal accessibility, to render sweet potato a suitable plant for space-based studies.

摘要

由于火星土壤养分含量低且盐度高,在火星上自主种植食物具有挑战性。了解植物如何适应并评估其营养特性对于持续的火星任务至关重要。本研究深入探讨了不同浓度(0%、25%、50%和75%)的火星全球模拟物(MGS - 1)对甘薯()的再生、耐逆性和膳食指标的影响。在我们的温室实验中,75%的MGS - 1浓度显著抑制了甘薯的生长、贮藏根生物量和叶绿素含量。该浓度还提高了植物组织中的过氧化氢、脯氨酸和抗坏血酸水平。较高的MGS - 1暴露水平(50%和75%)显著提高了植物贮藏根中的必需氨基酸和糖类物质。然而,MGS - 1浓度的增加显著降低了藤蔓和贮藏根中的总碳氮比及元素组成。总之,与更高浓度相比,甘薯在25%的MGS - 1暴露水平下表现出最佳的生长、抗氧化特性、产量和营养特征。这项研究强调了未来需要采取如营养强化和控制金属可及性等干预措施,以使甘薯成为适合太空研究的植物。
