In 1971, the late Dr. J. Kolek of the Institute of Botany,
Bratislava, organized the first International Symposium devoted
exclusively to plant roots. At that time, perhaps only a few of the
participants, gathered together in Tatranska Lomnica, sensed that a
new era of root meetings was beginning. Nevertheless, it is now
clear that Dr. Kolek's action, undertaken with his characteristic
enormous enthusiasm, was rather pioneering, for it started a series
a similar meetings. Moreover, what was rather exceptional at the
time was the fact that the meeting was devoted to the functioning
of just a single organ, the root. One possible reason for the
unexpected success of the original, perhaps naive, idea of a Root
Symposium might lie with the fact that plant roots have always been
extremely popular as experimental material for cytologists,
biochemists and physiologists whishing to probe processes as
diverse as cell division and solute transport. Of course, the
connection of roots with the rest of the plant is not forgotten
either. This wide variety of disciplines is now coupled with the
development of increasingly sophisticated experimental techniques
to study some of these old problems. These factors undoubtedly
contribute to the necessity of continuing the tradition of the root
symposia. The common theme of root function gives, in addition, a
certain unity to all these diverse activities.
