The principal objective of the space experiment, BRIC-AUX on STS-95, was the integrated analysis of the growth and development of etiolated pea and maize seedlings in space, and the effect of microgravity conditions in space on auxin polar transport in the segments. Microgravity conditions in space strongly affected the growth and development of etiolated pea and maize seedlings. Etiolated pea and maize seedlings were leaned and curved during space flight, respectively. Finally the growth inhibition of these seedlings was also observed. Roots of some pea seedlings grew toward the aerial space of Plant Growth Chamber. Extensibilities of cell walls of the third internode of etiolated pea epicotyls and the top region of etiolated maize coleoptiles which were germinated and grown under microgravity conditions in space were significantly low. Activities of auxin polar transport in the second internode segments of etiolated pea seedlings and coleoptile segments of etiolated maize seedlings were significantly inhibited and extremely promoted, respectively, under microgravity conditions in space. These results strongly suggest that auxin polar transport as well as the growth and development of plants is controlled under gravity on the earth.

The study of the supramolecular organization of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS) in various eukaryotes has led to the accumulation of a considerable amount of data on the composition, stoichiometry, and architecture of its constituent superstructures. However, the link between the features of system arrangement and the biological characteristics of the studied organisms has been poorly explored. Here, we report a comparative investigation into supramolecular and functional OXPHOS organization in the mitochondria of etiolated shoots of winter wheat ( L.

Functional relationships between endogenous levels of plant hormones in the growth and development of shoots in etiolated Alaska pea and etiolated Golden Cross Bantam maize seedlings under different gravities were investigated in the "Auxin Transport" experiment aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Comprehensive analyses of 31 species of plant hormones of pea and maize seedlings grown under microgravity (μg) in space and 1 g conditions were conducted. Principal component analysis (PCA) and a multiple regression analysis with the dataset from the plant hormone analysis of the etiolated pea seedlings grown under μg and 1 g conditions in the presence and absence of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA) revealed endogenous levels of auxin correlated positively with bending and length of epicotyls.

The oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system of mitochondria supports all the vitally important energy-consuming processes in eukaryotic cells, providing them with energy in the form of ATP. OXPHOS enzymes (complexes I-V) are located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, mainly in the cristae subcompartment. At present, there is a large body of data evidencing that the respiratory complexes I, III2 and IV under in vivo conditions can physically interact with each other in diverse stoichiometry, thereby forming supercomplexes.

The plasma membrane H-ATPase can be considered as a redox-dependent enzyme, because diamide-mediated inhibition of its hydrolytic and transport activities is accompanied by alkalization of the rhizosphere and retardation of root growth. Plasma membranes were isolated from roots of etiolated pea seedlings treated in the presence of an oxidant-diamide and an inhibitor of redox-sensitive protein phosphatase-phenylarsine oxide. Hydrolytic and proton transport activities of H-ATPase were determined.

This paper introduces the use of microarray data technology with Medicago (Medicago truncatula) microarrays to characterize global changes in the transcript abundance of etiolated Alaska pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedlings grown under microgravity (µg) conditions in comparison with those under artificial 1 g conditions on the International Space Station. Of the 44,000 genes of the Medicago microarray platform, more than 25,000 transcripts of pea seedlings were hybridized, suggesting that the microarray platform for Medicago could be useful in the study of gene expression of etiolated pea seedlings grown under µg conditions in space.
