Plant biology experiments in real and simulated microgravity have significantly contributed
to our understanding of physiology and behavior of plants. How do plants perceive …

Advancements in plant space biology are required for the realization of human space
exploration missions, where the re-supply of resources from Earth is not feasible. Until a few …

The present study provides a visual insight into the effects of simulated microgravity (MG) on
somatic embryogenesis (SE) in Begonia through the analysis of phytohormone fluctuations …

In a microgravity environment, without any gravitropic signal, plants are not able to define
and establish a longitudinal growth axis. Consequently, absorption of water and nutrients by …

Extreme factors such as space microgravity, radiation, and magnetic field differ from those
that occur on Earth. Microgravity may induce and select some microorganisms for …

Exploiting the symbiotic interaction between crops and nitrogen-fixing bacteria is a simple
and ecological method to promote plant growth in prospective extraterrestrial human …

The combination of in vitro culture and simulated gravity under clinostat 2D conditions was
first applied to strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa Duch.) leaf to evaluate in vitro …

Starting life in space and implementing spaceflight missions requires raising of plants in
special conditions, where various stresses, including microgravity, are applied to plant. The …

The use of the microgravity simulators such as Clinostat has enhanced microgravity
research on Earth as engaging in real space flight microgravity experiments are expensive …

Abstract Aim and Background: This study aimed to investigate the effect of microgravity and
light spectral composition on the levels of antioxidant enzyme activity, minerals, and some …
