Broad stress and repression of regulatory/metabolic genes
Simultaneous upregulation of various general stress response genes (salt, drought, wounding, phosphate, ethylene) and consistent downregulation of transcription factors, cell wall metabolism, and calcium signaling genes indicate both generalized stress adaptation and suppression of certain differentiation/metabolism pathways in spaceflight.
