Foreword
Roots are highly complex systems. They are known to perform most diverse tasks targeted at root structure and function. In addition to the most obvious aspects such as structural support of the plant, uptake of water and nutrients, storage of food and nutrients, or vegetative reproduction, they are involved in phytohormone synthesis and regulation of plant growth. Furthermore, roots interact with fungi,
