Root engineering : basic and applied concepts / Asunción Morte, Ajit Varma, editors.

This volume illustrates the complex root system, including the various essential roles of roots as well as their interaction with diverse microorganisms localized in or near the root system. Following initial chapters describing the anatomy and architecture as well as the growth and development of r...
