Root Physiology: From Gene To Function
About The Although significant progress has been made, much remains to be learnt. Breakthroughs have been made possible through integration of molecular and whole-plant aspects. Also, some have a much greater capacity to resist extreme environments, such as soil acidity, salinity, flooding or heavy-metal toxicities, due to specific adaptations
That focus has allowed greater insight into the significance of specific genes for plant development and functioning. Research on species other than A. Also, some have a much greater capacity to resist extreme environments, such as soil acidity, salinity, flooding or heavy-metal toxicities, due to specific adaptations. In the last decade, enormous progress has been made on the physiology of plant roots, including on a wide range of molecular aspects. Although significant progress has been made, much remains to be learnt. There has been a strong focus on a limited number of model species, including Arabidopsis thaliana. thaliana, in that they are mycorrhizal, develop a symbiosis with N2-fixing microsymbionts, or have other specialised root structures. However, many species are very different from A. This fundamental new knowledge can be the basis for important applications in, e.g., agriculture and plant conservation. Much of that progress has been captured in the chapters of this book. It is envisaged that discoveries made in the recent past will likely lead to major breakthroughs in the next decade. The classical boundaries between physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology have vanished. Breakthroughs have been made possible through integration of molecular and whole-plant aspects. thaliana is therefore pivotal, to develop new knowledge in plant sciences in a comprehensive manner.
