- Root response to, and modification of, soils - Genetic control of roots' responses to the environment - Use of modern techniques in imaging, molecular biology and analytical chemistry - Practical exploitation of root characters 

This book will be a vital tool for plant, crop, soil and agricultural scientists, plant physiologists, environmental scientists, ecologists and hydrologists. It will be a valuable addition to libraries in universities, agricultural colleges and research establishments where these subjects are studied and taught.
