This study examined plant growth mechanisms in microgravity, finding that while gravitropism was disrupted, phototropism remained intact. Changes in cell wall structure and auxin signaling were observed, providing insights for developing space-based agriculture systems.
Plant growth and development in microgravity conditions showed significant alterations in root architecture. Gravitropic responses were absent while phototropic responses remained functional. Cell wall composition and structure were modified. Gene expression analysis revealed changes in auxin signaling pathways. These findings have implications for crop production in space habitats.
