Translated paragraph context
In the Wentian laboratory module of the China Space Station, after four months of careful cultivation, the Shenzhou-23 astronauts have completed the collection and storage of a new batch of rice experiment samples and sown some of the "space seeds" they harvested. This is part of the experiment "Research on the Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Multigenerational Genetic Stability and Environmental Adaptability of Rice in Space," conducted aboard the China Space Station. Its aim is to allow rice to reproduce for two consecutive generations under microgravity conditions.Original Chinese quote
