Outline of Final Research Achievements	In order to realize space agriculture on Mars, germination experiments under ultra-low pressure of 1/20 reduced atmosphere were conducted. Seeds of forty-two species were attempted in three times. I was able to confirm germination of some species in atmosphere at 5kPa. It means that germination under 1kPa oxygen partial pressure was successful.
