Impacts of microgravity on plants (A) At the phenotypic level, plants exhibit random root growth direction, larger branch and silique angles, delayed flowering, and smaller seed size. (B) At the cellular level, plants in microgravity show dispersed amyloplasts, enhanced cell proliferation, and thinner, less rigid cell walls. (C) Omics analyses reveal alterations in several signaling pathways under microgravity, including those related to the cell wall, stress responses, reactive oxygen species, and epigenetic regulation. -- Plant Communications
