Endogenous and exogenous influences on the regulation of lateral root formation

  • Chapter
New Root Formation in Plants and Cuttings

Part of the book series: Developments in Plant and Soil Sciences ((DPSS,volume 20))

Abstract

According to Sutton and Tinus [1] who adopted the definition by Russell [2], a lateral root is a side root ‘that arises by cell division in the pericycle of the parent root. The resulting dome of tissue penetrates the cortex. When the lateral root emerges from the parent root, its apical meristem is comparable with that of the apex of the parent root.’
