    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 influenced growth orientation. The findings suggested that both the cytoskeleton and calcium ions played a role in regulating root hair growth direction in microgravity environments.
