  Despite encountering extreme, low temperatures of minus 40 degrees Celsius, these plants are capable of surviving the winter, according to Guo.

  The team also collected 350 grams of seeds from 11 local crops in Xizang, including barley and rapeseed. These seed packets were launched into space aboard China's first reusable and returnable satellite, Shijian-19, in September, and the retrieved payloads were delivered to scientists in October.

  “In the future, we will introduce space-bred vegetable and fruit seeds in Xizang to boost local agriculture,“ said Guo, his eyes brimming with confidence as he stood on the field's ridge, gazing toward the horizon.
