In addition to its role in water and nutrient uptake, the root system is fundamentally important
because it anchors a plant to its substrate. Although a wide variety of root systems exist …

The root system of a plant consists of the primary, lateral and adventitious roots. Lateral roots
always develop from roots whereas adventitious roots form from stem or leaf-derived cells …

The mutualistic relationship between mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots is a widespread
terrestrial symbiosis. The symbiosis enables plants to better adapt to adverse soil conditions …

Hardwood species are valuable biological resources that have an important role in the
economy and ecology of ecosystems worldwide. Non-zygotic or somatic embryogenesis …

The significance of rhizosphere microorganisms, especially mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria,
in polluted soils can be enormous, since they are able to increase the tolerance of plants …

In conifers, vegetative propagation of superior genotypes is the most direct means for
making large genetic gains, because it allows a large proportion of genetic diversity to be …
