Conserved plant transcriptional responses to microgravity from two consecutive spaceflight experiments Open
Introduction Understanding how plants adapt to the space environment is essential, as plants will be a valuable component of long duration space missions. Several spaceflight experiments have focused on transcriptional profiling as a means…

Bridging the gap: parallel profiling of ribosome associated and total RNA species can identify transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of plants in spaceflight Open
As plants are an essential component of sustainable life support systems, long-duration space missions will require a sophisticated understanding of plant adaptations to spaceflight and microgravity. For many years, transcriptional profili…

Polyethersulfone (PES) Membrane on Agar Plates as a Plant Growth Platform for Spaceflight Open
Plant biology experiments in microgravity face many challenges, among which are the constraints of the growth platforms available on the International Space Station (ISS). Protocols for preservation and sample return to Earth often limit e…

Uncovering Transcriptional Responses to Fractional Gravity in Arabidopsis Roots Open
Although many reports characterize the transcriptional response of Arabidopsis seedlings to microgravity, few investigate the effect of partial or fractional gravity on gene expression. Understanding plant responses to fractional gravity i…

A Role for Inositol Pyrophosphates in the Metabolic Adaptations to Low Phosphate in Arabidopsis Open
Phosphate is a major plant macronutrient and low phosphate availability severely limits global crop productivity. In Arabidopsis, a key regulator of the transcriptional response to low phosphate, phosphate starvation response 1 (PHR1), is …

The Circadian-clock Regulates the <i>Arabidopsis</i> Gravitropic Response Open
For long-term space missions, it is necessary to understand how organisms respond to changes in gravity. Plant roots are positively gravitropic; the primary root grows parallel to gravity's pull even after being turned away from the direct…

Inositol Trisphosphate Kinase and Diphosphoinositol Pentakisphosphate Kinase Enzymes Constitute the Inositol Pyrophosphate Synthesis Pathway in Plants Open
Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are an emerging class of “high-energy” intracellular signaling molecules containing one or two diphosphate groups attached to an inositol ring, with suggested roles in bioenergetic homeostasis and inorgan…
