Abstract: In recent years, seeds and tissue culture materials of more than fifty species or cultivars of flowers have been carried by the recoverable satellite or the high altitude balloon in China. It was reported that the space environment can cause some influence on the germination of the seeds, the development of the plants and the change of the inherited substance. The studies on effects of the character, physiology and chromosome in the flowers induced by the space environment were reviewed. The problem and the prospect of the space mutation breeding in the flowers were also discussed in this paper.
