Spaceflight studies identify a gene encoding an intermediate filament involved in tropism pathways
Link to the paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.plaphy.2021.12.039 Seedlings grown on the ISS were frozen and returned for analysis via RNASeq. Five genes with significant expression differences related to light and gravity perception were chosen, including one encoding an intermediate filament (neurofilament light protein) involved in phototropism and gravitropism pathways. 🟢Contributions of the Paper 🔹Identification of five genes […]
