Book Description
The root is the organ that functions as the interface between the plant and the earth environment. Many human management practices involving crops, forests and natural vegetation also affect plant growth through the soil and roots. Understanding the morphology and function of roots from the cellular level to the level of the whole root system is required for both plant production and environmental protection. This book is at the forefront of plant root science (rhizology), catering to professional plant scientists and graduate students. It covers root development, stress physiology, ecology, and associations with microorganisms. The chapters are selected papers originally presented at the 6th Symposium of the International Society of Root Research, where plant biologists, ecologists, soil microbiologists, crop scientists, forestry scientists, and environmental scientists, among others, gathered to discuss current research results and to establish rhizology as a newly integrated research area.

Book Description
Plants can accumulate essential mineral elements that are used in synthesizing a variety of important organic compounds and play crucial roles in metabolic pathways. Mineral elements are mainly derived from the soil in inorganic form. In soil, more than 60 mineral elements are present, but only macronutrients, micronutrients, and beneficial elements (e.g., cobalt, selenium, nickel, and silicon) are taken up by plants. Plant research has previously focused on essential plant nutrients (EPNs). But now we see that nutrients other than EPNs are also playing a vital role in plant adaptation, growth, and development. Furthermore, the interaction of non-essential elements with EPNs triggers plant stress tolerance, gaining attention as an important area of plant research. Abiotic and biotic stresses and their combinations influence many aspects of crop physiology and plant biochemistry. Therefore, understanding crops' physiological and biochemical responses to adverse environmental conditions is critical. While significant strides have been made in the domain of plant nutrition and stress tolerance, many aspects still remain unknown.
