    TLDR Simulated microgravity affects root hair growth direction.
    The study investigated the mechanisms behind the plagiotropic growth of root hairs under simulated microgravity conditions. Researchers focused on the cytoskeleton topography and calcium ions distribution in root hairs to understand how these factors regulate growth parallel to the Earth.
