Somatic embryos at low gravity in space – Cosmos 782.
Google YouTube video, published April 24, 2013.

NOTE: Note that accompanies video: “Abraham D. Krikorian reminisces about US/USSR plant biosatellite program with embryogenic cells of wild carrot (Daucus carota L.) flown for 19.5 days at low gravity in Nov-Dec 1975.” This and other Cosmos 782 US experiments were the first in a series of US/USSR collaborations on Cosmos/Bion flights. A disturbingly young R. Dutcher appears at the 2:17:30 mark.
