## Caption

China's Shenzhou-23 astronauts have completed a new rice-growing experiment aboard the country's space station, comparing two types of rice seeds to advance space farming.⁣
⁣
One group was grown from conventional Earth-grown seeds, while the other came from the descendants of rice first cultivated in space in 2022 and then bred for three generations on Earth. ⁣
⁣
Scientists hope the study will reveal whether previously space-grown rice is better adapted to the space environment.⁣
