Effects of microgravity on the structure of leaves cells involved in water transport.
The oppression of plant cells growth and accelerated of their aging and cell structure changes take place during growth of plants at conditions of long time space flight or clinorotation.  Such changes reflect the alterations of gravity-sensitive links in plant cell metabolism, of plant polarity and possible of water balance of plants at weightlessness.  Because the study of plant cells ultrastructure changes that took part in water transport under microgravity influence was the aim of our investigation.
