Abstract

Plant root systems form complex networks with the surrounding soil environment and are controlled by both internal and external factors. The growth of the primary root, formation of lateral roots, gravitropism, nutrient and water uptake, interactions with microorganisms, and several other functions are controlled by various protein signaling. Regulatory proteins also have a vital role in the distribution of hormones in plant organs and the responses of plants to external stresses. In gravitropism, although the distribution of auxin in the root elongation zone influences the downward bending of the root, proteins are the main players involved in auxin transport. Roots are the first plant tissue that encounters most abiotic stresses; thus, root proteins are involved in sensing and responding to stress conditions. Therefore, the identification of proteins that mediate these responses is expected to help better understand the mechanisms of root action under normal and stressful conditions. In this chapter, the roles of various proteins modulating hormonal actions in roots are discussed, and the proteomic profiles of roots exposed to abiotic stress are reviewed.
