TL;DR: No changes in telomere length in space-flown Arabidopsis seedlings are observed, despite a dramatic increase in telomerase activity (up to 150-fold in roots), as well as elevated genome oxidation, and it is proposed that genome oxidation is inversely correlated with telomersase activity levels.
