Root - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In vascular plants, the root is the organ of a plant that typically lies below the surface of the soil. This is not always the case, however, since a root can also be aerial (growing above the gro...

Adventitious roots develop in both flood tolerant and flood intolerant plants. Adventitious roots are the most common type of root regeneration. These roots begin to develop just above the saturated soil line on the stem of the plant.

Adventitious roots are the ones that form from shoot tissues, not from another (parent) root. Most commonly, adventitious roots arise out of stems, originating via cell divisions of the stem cortex or less often from axillary buds hidden in the bark.

Instead it sends out short, finger-like adventitious roots that dig into dead bark on a host tree and hold tightly while the vine grows. These aerial roots (right) apparently absorb no water or nutrients and do no damage to the host.

The importance of adventitious roots to an understanding of rooting "strategies" is self-evident. It is a matter of general interest to determine whether generating the population of fine roots depends on proliferation of conserved apical meristems and primary tissues, or secondary tissues, or both.

Because many monocots have shallow root systems (the fibrous system has many secondary roots that spread more on top than they grow deep into the ground), secondary or adventitious roots will be produced. Adventitious roots are roots which develop from stems.

Recently, we established an efficient system for inducing adventitious roots from in vitro shoots, derived from selected hermaphrodite plants with good horticultural qualities (Yu et al., 2000). The adventitious roots thus obtained can regenerate somatic embryos within 4 months.
