Plant and Phytopathogen Interactions in Altered Gravities: Integrated Research into the Stability of Plant-Based Crop Production Systems in Space

The primary hypotheses (Ha) of the proposed Research Campaign (RC) are: (1) phytopathogen virulence and disease development are up-regulated (i.e., increased) in space, and (2) some plant resistance mechanisms are down-regulated (i.e., decreased) in space. These two hypotheses must be verified or refuted in a coordinated RC over the next 10 years to develop a fundamental understanding on how plant pathogens interact with plant tissues in space.
