The paucity of data on the role of gravity in cellular and developmental biology has been examined, and a hypothesis has been generated that unifies potential gravity sensitivity in both plant and animal systems. This hypothesis considers the macromolecular order and functional importance of the extracellular matrix compartment, the intracellular cytoskeleton compartment, and the connecting plasma membrane-signal transduction compartment of plant and animal systems as potentially sensitive to alterations in the unit gravity environment in which they evolved.
关于重力在细胞和发育生物学中的作用,已对相关数据的匮乏情况进行了研究,并提出了一个假说,该假说统一了植物和动物系统中潜在的重力敏感性。这一假说认为,植物和动物系统的细胞外基质区室、细胞内细胞骨架区室以及连接质膜 - 信号转导区室的大分子秩序和功能重要性,可能对它们进化所处的单位重力环境的改变敏感。
