Plant Root publishes original papers that provide novel insights into plant roots and rhizosphere in the aspect of biology (e.g. physiology, ecology etc.). The Journal’s subjects are, for example, anatomy and morphology, cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry and physiology of plant roots, and their interactions with soil resources (water and nutrients), symbionts and pathogens. Work at any scale, from molecular to community level, is welcome.
