[Weightlessness and elementary biological processes].

This book gives comprehensive review of the role of gravity in fundamental biological processes. The book surveys the results of experiments on precellular and unicellular organisms, plant and animal cultured cells and tissues, fungi and actinomycetes, higher plants, and insects. The book discusses essentially every experiment performed in real flights, including those in which the combined effect of microgravity and ionizing radiation was investigated, as well as many clinostat and centrifuge studies.
