Abstract: We study the influence of altered gravity on actin expression in roots of Beta vulgaris seedlings grown on the horizontal clinostat (2 rpm) from seed germination for three days. It is shown that the total actin quantity was not influenced. Three actin isoforms are revealed; a relative protein quantity of these isoforms was similar both in clinorotated seedlings and in ones grown in norm. This points to stable expression of actin under the altered gravity conditions.
