Abstract

The organization and development of roots have been well described in morphological and anatomical terms by many authors (v. Guttenberg 1940, 1941, Esau 1943b, 1953a, 1960, Foster 1949) and recent concepts and terminologies with respect to root development have been reviewed and consolidated by Esau (1953 b, 1954) and in vol. III of this encyclopedia1. It is not the purpose of the present chapter to repeat such information. Rather, its purpose is to bring together physiological and biochemical information which bears upon the broad subject of root development and to analyze root organization and development in terms of the physiological and biochemical processes upon which they depend. Our present state of knowledge of the intimate machinery of the cell which, through its intricate and complex workings, controls and directs the course of cellular development, is entirely inadequate to give any clear or definitive picture of the physiological basis of cell organization, let alone the further complexities of such an organized tissue system as the elongating root. However, at our present stage, sufficient information has accumulated to warrant an examination of the subject and even to outline the broad areas in which we may expect to make progress in the immediate future.

The following abbreviations have been used in this article: DNA, deoxyribosenucleic acid; IAA, 3-indoleacetic acid; NAA, 1-naphthaleneacetic acid; RNA, ribosenucleic acid; TIBA, 2.3.5-triiodobenzoic acid; 2.4-D, 2.4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid.
