Fig. 1

Averaged Raman spectra (a) acquired from ISS- and Earth-grown A. thaliana. Changes in the intensities of vibrational bands that can be assigned to phenylpropanoids (1608 cm−1), carotenoids, (1525 cm−1), pectin (747 cm−1), and cellulose (1048 cm−1) are reported by ANOVA graphs (b). Means of the intensities of vibrational bands are shown by dots; standard deviations by horizontal lines.
