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 biotechnological research. All forms of life are constantly exposed to gravity and it can
be assumed that almost all organisms have developed sensors and respond in one way or the other
to the unidirectional acceleration force this books shows us some of these different ways. The
book is written for plant biologists and microbiologists as well as scientists interested in
space and gravitational biology.
