Gravitational Biology I Gravity Sensing and Graviorientation in Microorganisms and Plants /

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 biotechnologic...
