This book summarizes what is currently known about gravity sensing and response mechanisms in microorganisms, fungi, lower and higher plants; starting from the historical eye-opening experiments from the 19th century up to today's extremely rapid advancing cellular, molecular and biotechnological research. All forms of life are constantly exposed to gravity and it can be assumed that almost all organisms have developed sensors and respond in one way or the other to the unidirectional acceleration force,this books shows us some of these different ways.

Produktbeschreibung
This book summarizes what is currently known about gravity sensing and response mechanisms in microorganisms, fungi, lower and higher plants; starting from the historical eye-opening experiments from the 19th century up to today's extremely rapid advancing cellular, molecular and biotechnological research. All forms of life are constantly exposed to gravity and it can be assumed that almost all organisms have developed sensors and respond in one way or the other to the unidirectional acceleration force,this books shows us some of these different ways.
The book is written for plant biologists and microbiologists as well as scientists interested in space and gravitational biology.
Rezensionen
"I found this volume to be a well-written introduction to the topics of gravitropism, gravitaxis, and plant space biology. The book is recommended for new graduate students in the field of gravitational and space biology of plants and will provide a great overview to this group." (John Z. Kiss, Plant Science Bulletin, Vol. 64 (3), 2018)
