Plants Out of This World: Dr. Sarah Wyatt Explores the Effects of Gravity on Plant Growth in Space

Dr. Sarah Wyatt will be the guest speaker at the final Science Café event of the spring semester on Wednesday, April 3 at 5 p.m. at The Front Room Coffeehouse in Baker University Center. The event will also be live-streamed on YouTube. Attendees will receive free coffee coupons while supplies last.

In her presentation titled “Growing (Plants) Beyond Gravity,” Dr. Wyatt will explore how gravity affects plant growth and development, including the positioning of leaves, stems, roots, flowers, seeds, and fruits. She will also discuss her research on the effects of gravity on plants with her students, including recent experiments conducted on the International Space Station.

Dr. Wyatt is a professor in the Department of Environmental and Plant Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences at Ohio University, where she specializes in studying molecular mechanisms of signaling in plant responses, with a focus on how plants react to gravity.

The Science Café series at Ohio University is made possible by the support of the Ohio University Research Division and the Ohio University Chapter of Sigma Xi.
