Roots refer to the underground part of a plant that typically serves as its anchor and absorbs nutrients and water from the soil. Research in this area focuses on understanding the molecular, physiological, and ecological mechanisms that regulate root growth, development, and function. This includes studying how roots interact with soil microbes, respond to environmental cues, and influence plant growth and health. Roots are essential for plant survival and play a crucial role in nutrient uptake, water conservation, and carbon sequestration. Understanding root biology is important for improving crop productivity, enhancing soil health, and mitigating the effects of climate change.
