Root Genomics and Soil Interactions

Buy

Fully integrated and comprehensive in its coverage, Root Genomics and Soil Interactions examines the use of genome-based technologies to understand root development and adaptability to biotic and abiotic stresses and changes in the soil environment. Written by an international team of experts in the field, this timely review highlights both model organisms and important agronomic crops. Coverage includes: novel areas unveiled by genomics research basic root biology and genomic approaches applied to analysis of root responses to the soil environment. Each chapter provides a succinct yet thorough review of research.

Developmental plasticity allows higher organisms to adapt to their environment. In contrast to animals, plants exhibit a remarkable flexibility in their architecture and growth pattern in response to external conditions, due to the continuously active shoot and root meristems and their capability to generate new organs after embryogenesis. External cues influence plant growth by modulating hormone levels and signaling. The root architecture of the plant constitutes an important model to study how developmental plasticity is translated into growth responses under different soil conditions and plays an important role in water and nutrient acquisition. Indeed, primary root development and the formation of de novomeristems to generate lateral roots are conditioned by the soil environment. Lateral root growth and development is the main determinant of the shape of the root system, a trait controlled by internal cues and external factors. In addition to Arabidopsis, there are other relevant models where genomic information is becoming available, notably cereals and legumes. Both plants are able to develop symbiotic interactions with soil organisms, namely, mycorrhizal fungi and, for legumes, soil rhizobia. These interactions lead to further adaptation of root growth, the so-called mycorrhizal roots, and even to the formation of new organs, distinct from lateral roots, the nitrogen-fixing root nodules.

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the definite goal of understanding intelligence and building intelligent systems. However, the methods and formalisms used on the way to this goal are not firmly set, which has resulted in AI consisting of a multitude of subdisciplines today. The difficulty in an introductory AI course lies in conveying...
