This space
is designed to inform about gravitropism in plants -
history, research, technologies and problems.
Gravitational
Biology deals with the effects of Gravity on Life. During the evolution
on Earth almost any factor (light, atmosphere, temperature, soil, water etc.)
has changed forcing a multitude of adjustments. Only gravity remained constant.
How can organisms accomodate a force that is constant, ubiquitous, affects
everything, and shapes Life in such profound ways. Only since the beginning
of space exploration are we able to escape the force of gravity. But researchers
tried for more than 100 years to understand the effects of gravity. Read on....
