Special Issue on Root Biology

Roots are vital to the plant in a variety of ways: they provide stability, store nutrients, and act as the primary source of water and nutrient acquisition. In general, the root comprises all parts of the plat that lie beneath the soil, even though most of the tissues of the plant.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring root biology. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Types of roots
• Root growth
• Rooting depths
• Root architecture
• Evolution of roots
• Economic importance
• Ecological and environmental importance

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Root Biology” should be selected during your submission.
