Plant hormones are signalling compounds that regulate crucial aspects of growth,
development and environmental stress responses. Abiotic stresses, such as drought …

Rhizobial bacteria enter a symbiotic association with leguminous plants, resulting in
differentiated bacteria enclosed in intracellular compartments called symbiosomes within …

Growth regulation tailors development in plants to their environment. A prominent example
of this is the response to gravity, in which shoots bend up and roots bend down. This …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic factors threatening food security worldwide. Recently, our
understanding of early processes underlying salinity tolerance has expanded. In this review …

In order to optimally establish their root systems, plants are endowed with several
mechanisms to use at distinct steps during their development. In this review, we zoom in on …

The developmental plasticity of the root system represents a key adaptive trait enabling
plants to cope with abiotic stresses such as drought and is therefore important in the current …

The Arabidopsis root has been the subject of intense research over the past decades. This
research has led to significantly improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Root systems can display variable architectures that contribute to survival strategies of
plants. The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana possesses a tap root system, in which the …
