Resilient Desert Plant Found in Xinjiang

Scientists have discovered a type of moss in the Xinjiang Desert that possesses the highest endurance among desert plants. It can survive in harsh conditions including extreme dryness, intense radiation, severe cold, and environments similar to the surface of Mars. Tests have shown that the plant, known as "Syntrichia caninervis," was able to restore its vitality in space after experiencing dehydration, freezing, and radiation, continuing to grow and thrive in orbit. This discovery represents an important step in the search for plants suitable for colonizing extraterrestrial environments. It could also serve as a source for improving crops and reclaiming desertified lands, thanks to its unique genetic traits that enable it to withstand very harsh environmental conditions.
