the gravity sensor - can form in the absence of gravity . it should be noted that there is still gravity on the iss but , owing to its orbit around earth , things on the station are in a constant state of free-fall , simulating a zero-gravity environment . in the kibo module , the plants will be placed in both the micro gravity iss environment and in a small centrifuge , that can simulate earth 's gravity . results will show if the plants can sense changes in gravity , and adapt levels of calcium in their cells to compensate for it . the results could help farmers on earth get a higher crop yield - and may also help future astronauts grow plants on missions beyond earth orbit to the moon and mars -lrb- illustration shown -rrb- . in particular , scientists think particles in plant cells that store and process starch for energy - amyloplast - may form in the direction of gravitational pull . by increasing calcium concentrations , the amyloplast can help the plant grow in a certain direction . without gravity , though , scientists will be keen to see whether the same components can still assemble to make the plant grow in a certain direction . if the role of amyloplast is proven to be correct , it could mean that plants on earth could be modified to make them more healthy . and it could also help cultivate healthy plants for consumption on future deep space missions , or even other planets . these culture dishes hold seedlings and the growing medium for the plant gravity sensing investigation , which were used during astronaut training at the japan aerospace exploration agency 's tsukuba space center in march 2014 . the gravity sensor of the plant could be regulated to account for the different gravity on another planet - such as mars , where it is a third of earth 's . ` we may design plants that respond to gravity vector changes more efficiently than wild ones , ' said dr hitoshi tatsumi from the nagoya university in japan , who is running the experiment . ` these plants will recover from collapse by winds or flood more rapidly than wild ones . thus , the agricultural output of the designed plants will be greatly increased , which may solve , in part , the shortage of crops in the near future .
