Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1986
In 1727 the pioneer vegetation scientist Stephen Hales realized that I much that was of importance to his subject material took place below on ground. A good deal of descriptive work on plant roots and root systems was done in the subsequent two centuries; in crop plants especially, the gross morphology of root systems was well known by the early 20th ...

Negative gravitropism in plant roots
Nature Plants, 2016Plants are capable of orienting their root growth towards gravity in a process termed gravitropism, which is necessary for roots to grow into soil, for water and nutrient acquisition and to anchor plants. Here we show that root gravitropism depends on the novel protein, NEGATIVE GRAVITROPIC RESPONSE OF ROOTS (NGR).

Crenarchaeota colonize terrestrial plant roots
Environmental Microbiology, 2000Microorganisms that colonize plant roots are recruited from, and in turn contribute substantially to, the vast and virtually uncharacterized phylogenetic diversity of soil microbiota. The diverse, but poorly understood, microorganisms that colonize plant roots mediate mineral transformations and nutrient cycles that are central to biosphere functioning.

Science, 1968
Direct observations of the calcium-45 distribution around the roots of plants growing in soil showed a pattern in direct contrast to that predicted from calculations based on the calcium concentration of the soil solution, transpiration rates, and plant calcium content.

Swarm intelligence in plant roots
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2010Swarm intelligence in animals and humans has recently been reviewed [1]. These authors posited that swarm intelligence occurs when two or more individuals independently, or at least partly independently, acquire information that is processed through social interactions and is used to solve a cognitive problem in a way that would be impossible for ...

The Roots of Carnivorous Plants
Plant and Soil, 2005Carnivorous plants may benefit from animal-derived nutrients to supplement minerals from the soil. Therefore, the role and importance of their roots is a matter of debate. Aquatic carnivorous species lack roots completely, and many hygrophytic and epiphytic carnivorous species only have a weakly developed root system.

The Botanical Review, 1969
Although the quantities of organic compounds exuding from roots is not large, seldom exceeding 0.4% of the carbon photosynthesized, they do exert a very strong influence on the soil microorganisms and may be significant in affecting plant nutrient availability.

Analysis of plant root electropotentials
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1972Abstract A model is proposed for the analysis of steady-state electropotentials in plant roots. The radial element of this model is discussed in terms of two parallel pathways, i.e. the symplasm and the extracellular space. The symplasm pathway is treated as a system of three compartments in series.

The modular structure of plant root systems enables a high degree of flexibility (or plasticity) in responding to prevailing conditions in the soil, including resource distribution. However, more recently, it has been suggested that root-root interactions are more sophisticated than simply being driven by resource availability alone.
