杉本学教授说，大麦可在高温或低温等相对恶劣的环境中生长，而且大麦富含纤维和营养，是一种理想的太空作物。

Barley can grow in relatively tough environments, such as high and low temperatures, and is rich in fibre and nutrients, making it ideal for space agriculture, the professor said.

目前，札幌控股正与日本冈山大学的生物学家杉本学合作开发这一项目。杉本学一直在参与俄罗斯太空食用作物项目的开发与研究。

The company teamed up on the project with Okayama University biologist Manabu Sugimoto, who has been part of a Russian space project to explore ways to grow edible plants in space.

他说，目前科学家还没有发现地球上种植的大麦与太空大麦有什么不同。杉本学教授将于七月份在加拿大召开的一个研讨会上提交他的研究结果的DNA分析报告。

As of now, scientists have not detected any differences between Earth-grown and space barley, said Sugimoto, who will present DNA analysis of his findings at a conference in Canada in July.
