Rajapruek Space Tree is to pass on knowledge to the students of The Demonstration School, University of Phayao. It has studied the growth of plants that can grow in space for research compared to the royal tree that uses seeds grown on earth to inspire and be a good starting point for the development of space science manpower. It is one of the leading research for the future of humanity. Department of Biology, School of Science, under the cooperation of Science Classrooms in University-Affiliated School Project and courses of space plants will conduct comparative studies. In terms of growth, plant science, cytology and genetics to monitor continuously for at least 2 years to promote biodiversity activities. Botanical gardens and further development of ornamental plants.
