The root system is a vital part of the plant and
therefore
understanding roots and their functioning is key to agricultural, plant
and soil scientists.In Plant Roots
Professor Peter Gregory brings together recent developments in
techniques and an improved understanding of plant and soil interactions
to present a comprehensive look at this important relationship,
covering:
- Root response to, and modification of, soils
- Genetic control of roots' responses to the
environment
- Use of modern techniques in imaging, molecular
biology and analytical chemistry
- Practical exploitation of root characters.
This book will be a vital tool for plant, crop, soil and agricultural
scientists, plant physiologists, environmental scientists, ecologists
and hydrologists. It will be a valuable addition to libraries in
universities, agricultural colleges and research establishments where
these subjects are studied and taught..
