| Abstract | As the hidden half of the plant, roots provide essential anchorage and act as the lifeline of the plant. They are the primary interface between the plant and the soil, navigating a complex and often hostile environment to acquire life-sustaining water and nutrients. In an era of unprecedented climate change and increasing pressure on our agricultural and natural ecosystems, understanding how root systems respond to environmental stress has never been more critical. The challenges are immense, from prolonged droughts and frequent flooding to soil compaction, nutrient-depleted and salinized soils. Yet, with these challenges come opportunities for discovery and innovation. |
