Mechanisms of root adaptation and phototropism in microgravity

This reasoning chain explains how actin cytoskeleton suppression of root skewing and the emergence of blue-light phototropic responses together mediate unique aspects of Arabidopsis root development in microgravity. The interaction of light and gravity signals contributes to adaptation.
