Chemotropic vs Hydrotropic Stimuli for Root Growth Orientation in Microgravity

Chemotropic vs Hydrotropic Stimuli for Root Growth Orientation in Microgravity

Understanding how plants respond to spaceflight and extraterrestrial environments is crucial to develop life-support systems intended for long-term human explorations. Gravity is a main factor influencing root development and orientation, typically masking other tropisms. Considering that reduced le...
