Introduction to root genomics.- EST-based approach for dissecting root architecture in barley using mutant traits of other species.- Genomics of Root-Microbe Interactions.- Plant genetics for study of the roles of root exudates and microbes in the soil.- Impact of the environment on root architecture in dicotyledoneous plants.- Mechanisms of aluminium tolerance.- Root responses to major abiotic stresses in flooded soils.- Genomics of root architecture and functions in maize.- Phenotyping for root traits and their improvement through biotechnological approaches to sustaining crop productivity.- Genomics and physiological approaches for root trait breeding to improve drought tolerance in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.).- Molecular breeding of cereals for aluminium resistance.- Molecular breeding of rice for problem soils.

From the reviews: "This book was written for me and all who research and believe that crop design for the 21st Century in a changing and more unpredictable climate requires far greater prioritization be given to achieving a better understanding of root biology and a capability to manipulate plant genomes to improve their function. An impressive selection of very well-regarded researchers world-wide have contributed to this book to assemble what I believe is the most up-to-date and comprehensive report of the current knowledge on crop root genetics."
