Roots
The four major functions of roots are 1) Absorption 2) Conduction 3) Storage 4) Anchorage

Root systems
• A primary (taproot) root system consists of: ü A primary root and secondary roots. ü Present mainly in dicots ü Radicle of seedling gives rise to the root.
• Fibrous (adventitious) root system: ü There is not a tap root ü Present in monocots, ferns and some dicots. ü The roots arise from the stem ü The radicle is short-lived

Secale cereale Root system including root hairs = 639 m2
occupying only 6 liters of soil
Medicago can extend its roots 10 m or more

Mucigel is a slimy substance made by dictyosomes. 1. lubrication 2. It contains allelopathic
compounds 3. Water and nutrient
absorption 4. help establish beneficial
symbioses with soil microbes.

Casparian strip or Casparian tissue
The endodermal cell walls, contain the casparian strip with suberin, a waxy water repellant substance.

Secondary growth
Mainly consist in the formation of secondary vascular tissues and periderm (cork tissue) Not capable of extension. Does not undergo reversible changes in thickness. True pits present. No plasmodesmata present.

Secondary growth
In some cases dead roots are replaced immediately by young roots If the cortex is retained, their walls will be covered with a suberin lamella, lignin and cellulose

Origin of lateral roots Branch roots originate in the pericycle, so they are endogenous. Never happen in the elongation section of the root

Origin of adven33ous roots, process of rhizogenesis.
Primordial cells differentiated from the cambium. Radicles are generated with a formed apical meristem.

Modifications of the roots
Potamogeton and Myriophyllum have air chambers extending from the shoots and leaves to the roots.

Specialized roots Pneumatophores are structures with spongy tissues Negative geotropism Aerating roots which are found in some plants found growing in water-logged, badly aerated soils.

Common in large tropical trees. Buttress roots are immense exaggerated wall-like structures at the interface between the trunk and the ground.

Tuberous roots are storage organs which act as perennating organs in environments which have extreme fluctuations of either temperature or moisture.
