Abstract

Plants are exposed to a plethora of  challenging situations throughout their lifecycle. As plants are sessile in nature, they have developed sophisticated signaling pathways to cope with the changing environment. However, most of the research till now is focused on aerial parts of the plant. Root although is the hidden part of a plant but performs many indispensable functions for the plant’s survival. Furthermore, many abiotic stresses are first perceived by roots of a plant. Therefore, understanding how roots behave during stressful environment can be very useful for raising stress-tolerant crops along with increasing crop productivity. This chapter focuses on how roots sense different external stimuli and respond towards it. We have discussed molecular, physiological, anatomical changes in roots in response to various abiotic environmental cues.
