Evidence Quote

Many genes associated with cell wall remodeling are differentially expressed in spaceflight Arabidopsis.

Relationship

spaceflight increases cell wall remodeling

Evidence

Hierarchical clustering identifies 158 genes with significant (p < 0.01, ≥1.9-fold) differential expression for cell wall remodeling, expansion, pathogen, wounding, and growth hormone signaling. See Additional file 3.
