Molecular adaptation to spaceflight: gene expression, signal perception, and epigenetic regulation

This chain explains how spaceflight-related environmental changes lead to molecular adaptation in plants and other organisms, impacting gene expression, DNA methylation, and stress signaling. It synthesizes evidence that spaceflight alters both genetic and epigenetic regulatory processes, affecting cellular functions such as microtubule organization.
