太空蔬菜是利用返回式卫星和高空气球将蔬菜种子带入距地球２００～３００公里的太空，通过宇宙辐射、微重力、高真空、超低温、交变磁场等因素产生特殊诱变作用，再带回地面选育的蔬菜新品种。现已选育成功并开始应用的有太空辣椒、太空番茄、太空黄瓜、太空西瓜等。太空蔬菜 Space vegetables use return satellites and high-altitude balloons to bring vegetable seeds into the space of 200 to 300 kilometers from the earth. They produce special mutagenic effects through cosmic radiation, microgravity, high vacuum, ultra-low temperature and alternating magnetic fields, Ground breeding of new varieties of vegetables. Breeding success has now begun and the application of space pepper, space tomato, space cucumber, space watermelon and so on. Space vegetables
