Peter J. Gregory 
Plant Roots [PDF ebook] 
Growth, Activity and Interactions with the Soil

The root system is a vital part of the plant and therefore
understanding roots and their functioning is key to agricultural,
plant and soil scientists.
In Plant Roots Professor Peter Gregory brings together
recent developments in techniques and an improved understanding of
plant and soil interactions to present a comprehensive look at this
important relationship, covering:
* Root response to, and modification of, soils
* Genetic control of roots’ responses to the
environment
* Use of modern techniques in imaging, molecular biology and
analytical chemistry
* Practical exploitation of root characters
This book will be a vital tool for plant, crop, soil and
agricultural scientists, plant physiologists, environmental
scientists, ecologists and hydrologists. It will be a valuable
addition to libraries in universities, agricultural colleges and
research establishments where these subjects are studied and
taught.
