Current Topics in Root Biology

Catalog description

Course Description: How roots grow and interact with their environment, from embryonic roots to large tree roots. Analysis of recent literature related to the impact of internal controls on root growth and root system development (e.g., developmental signaling, carbohydrate availability, water status), and the impacts of the external environment on root physiology, root system development, and individual root growth (e.g., soil structure, soil microbial, water, nutrients).
