Abstract
We have tried to investigate the mechanisms supporting the plagiotropic growth (growth in parallel to the Earth) of root hairs in simulated microgravity. Our strategy to understand the regulation of such type of growth depends upon the study of cytoskeleton topography and calcium ions distribution in root hairs both in control and simulated microgravity.
