Bridging the gap: parallel profiling of ribosome associated and total RNA species can identify transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of plants in spaceflight
ABSTRACTAs plants are an essential component of sustainable life support systems, long-duration space missions will require a sophisticated understanding of plant adaptations to spaceflight and microgravity.For many years, transcriptional profiling of Water Tank Assembly steady state mRNA abundances has been used as measure of plant adaptations to
