An idea might be to grow plants on a constantly rotating
turntable (like an old phonograph if you can find one).  If I
remember my high school biology correctly, this should work.
The difficulty would be in keping the plants on the turntable
at whatever rpm you are using.  This might be a neat way to tie
in circular motion (centripetal acceleration) with amount of
root growth/development.
Happy planting.
