Sometimes historical research is annoying. I found a reference to experiments on tomato seeds that had been stored on the Mir space station for 6 years.

I have found the results of those experiments. I have found out which spacecraft took them to Mir, and which one brought them home.

I have found out that of the "agricultural seeds" involved, only the wheat and tomato survived the experience.

But can I find out which other seeds they sent? No, I cannot. 🤯

That's the Russians for you, of course. If it had been NASA there would be newspaper articles and photos.
