AstroPlants are a true-breeding Fast Plants stock that was developed from the Petite stock for use in NASA Space Shuttle experiments. Although AstroPlants are represented by the same genotype as the Petite stock, this stock’s selection was guided by the formula “5-10-15” to achieve a high proportion of plants that produce 5 seed pods on plants less than 10 centimeters in height, and flower in 15 days. AstroPlants are capable of growing in small substrate volumes.

Standard stock characterizes the typical form and growth patterns for Fast Plants. Standard stock was selected for uniformity under ideal growing conditions in days to flower (14 days) and short life cycle (35-45 days to harvesting seed). Also, Standard was recently bred to have a purple stigma, making it easy to observe pollination.
Wisconsin Fast Plants are non-GMO, developed through traditional plant breeding for research and teaching. Their closest vegetable relative is a turnip or Chinese cabbage. Their scientific name is Rapid Cycling Brassica rapa.
