Zhou M, Ferl R, Paul A
NPJ Microgravity . 2024 Aug; 10(1):82. PMID: 39107298
The Characterizing Arabidopsis Root Attractions (CARA) spaceflight experiment provides comparative transcriptome analyses of plants grown in both light and dark conditions within the same spaceflight. CARA compared three genotypes of...

Diao X, Haveman N, Califar B, Dong X, Prentice B, Paul A, et al.
Life Sci Space Res (Amst) . 2024 Apr; 41:110-118. PMID: 38670637
Over the course of more than a decade, space biology investigations have consistently indicated that cell wall remodeling occurs in a variety of spaceflight-grown plants. Here, we describe a mass...

Ferl R, Zhou M, Strickland H, Haveman N, Callaham J, Bandla S, et al.
NPJ Microgravity . 2023 Dec; 9(1):95. PMID: 38123588
The Virgin Galactic Unity 22 mission conducted the first astronaut-manipulated suborbital spaceflight experiment. The experiment examined the operationalization of Kennedy Space Center Fixation Tubes (KFTs) as a generalizable approach to...

Olanrewaju G, Haveman N, Naldrett M, Paul A, Ferl R, Wyatt S
Front Plant Sci . 2023 Dec; 14:1260429. PMID: 38089794
Spaceflight presents a unique environment with complex stressors, including microgravity and radiation, that can influence plant physiology at molecular levels. Combining transcriptomics and proteomics approaches, this research gives insights into...

Haveman N, Schuerger A, Yu P, Brown M, Doebler R, Paul A, et al.
Front Plant Sci . 2023 Jun; 14:1194753. PMID: 37389293
Human space exploration missions will continue the development of sustainable plant cultivation in what are obviously novel habitat settings. Effective pathology mitigation strategies are needed to cope with plant disease...

Haveman N, Zhou M, Callaham J, Strickland H, Houze D, Manning-Roach S, et al.
Life (Basel) . 2022 Nov; 12(11). PMID: 36431005
Suborbital spaceflights now enable human-tended research investigating short-term gravitational effects in biological systems, eliminating the need for complex automation. Here, we discuss a method utilizing KSC Fixation Tubes (KFTs) to...

Paul A, Haveman N, Califar B, Ferl R
Front Plant Sci . 2021 Sep; 12:691790. PMID: 34589093
Plants subjected to the novel environment of spaceflight show transcriptomic changes that resemble aspects of several terrestrial abiotic stress responses. Under investigation here is whether epigenetic modulations, similar to those...

Front Plant Sci . 2020 Mar; 11:239. PMID: 32194611
The observation that plant roots skew in microgravity recently refuted the long-held conviction that skewing was a gravity-dependent phenomenon. Further, spaceflight root skewing suggests that specific root morphologies and cell...
