The third edition of a standard resource, this book offers a state-of-the-art, multi-disciplinary presentation of plant roots. It examines structure and development, assemblage of root systems, metabolism and growth, stressful environments, and interactions at the rhizosphere. Reflecting the explosion of advances and emerging technologies in the field, the book presents developments in the study of root origin, composition, formation, and behavior for the production of novel pharmaceutical and medicinal compounds, agrochemicals, dyes, flavors, and pesticides. It details breakthroughs in genetics, molecular biology, growth substance physiology, biotechnology, and biomechanics.

Plant roots: The Hidden Half,
By
This review is from: Plant Roots: The Hidden Half (Books in Soils, Plants and the Environment) (Hardcover)
For all plant specialists and plant care practitioners,
including those in the tree care industry or even managers of vegetation inhabited landscapes this text is a must read. It equips one with the tools necessary to argue, defend and educate all on matters pertaining to plant root zone understanding and protection. Despite its hefty price (and no accompanying CD) it is indeed a worthwhile expense for far insights to a long neglected area of the plant sciences.
