On www.gms-biobox.de you can find live web-cam pictures of growing radish in
a hydroponic system. The trial has just started.
The plants are growing in a gastight plant growth chamber, which controls
the temperature, air humidity, light and also the concentrations of O2 and
CO2 in the atmosphere. The Biobox is also measuring the production and
consumption of O2 and CO2 by the plants and allows measurement of
photosynthesis and respiration.
