Most spaceflight-induced differential gene expression is non-essential for adaptation
Claim that most of the differential gene expression induced by spaceflight in Arabidopsis roots is dispensable and not required for physiological adaptation, as shown by the ability of genotypes with reduced numbers of DEGs to achieve normal growth in space.
