I wonder how plants cells would do in an absence of pressure? If you could engineer oxygen to be brought in through the root system, why not?

First drought tolerance, then the ability to grow 14 days in a row, then sit dormant for another 14 days. Then you can grow them on the moon. “…it will ultimately help us to develop crops with specific properties, for example drought tolerance.”
