This volume illustrates the complex root system, including the
various essential roles of roots as well as their interaction with
diverse microorganisms localized in or near the root system.
Following initial chapters describing the anatomy and architecture
as well as the growth and development of root systems, subsequent
chapters focus on the various types of root symbiosis with bacteria
and fungi in the rhizosphere. A third section covers the
physiological strategies of roots, such as nitrate assimilation,
aquaporins, the role of roots in plant defense responses and in
response to droughts and salinity changes. The book's final
chapters discuss the prospects of applied engineering of roots,
i.e., inventing new root structures or functions through genetic
modification, but also with conventional breeding and manipulation
of root symbionts. The budding field of root engineering is
expected to promote a second green revolution.
