Biological study of tobacco seeds flown in the joint Apollo-Soyouz Test-Project.
A preliminary experiment was carried out in order to detect eventual effects attributable to primary and background cosmic radiations received by tobacco seeds during the joint Apollo-Soyouz space flight. No genetic effect was observed but several developmental and physiological alterations took place.
