Could a plant be engineered to live in a vacuum?

Could an artificial plant species be designed and created that lives in a vacuum - for example on the surface of our moon?

The main problems I can see immediately would be the lack of an atmosphere for respiration, the lack of microbes in the soil, and the massive temperature swings. Would it be possible to biologically engineer something able to survive and reproduce in those circumstances though?
