Abstract
Many facets reflecting the autopoietic process of Life and Living can be found in plant roots at many levels relevant to their organisation, from cells to ecosystems. At each level, there are sub-processes dedicated to both the auto- reproduction and the self-maintenance of that level, these processes being contained within a boundary appropriate for that level. Auto- reproduction and self-maintenance unite with a third sub-process, cognition, and provide the basis of a coherent multi-levelled programme of root-research.
期刊介绍:
Plant Root publishes original papers, either theoretical or experimental, that provide novel insights into plant roots. The Journal’s subjects include, but are not restricted to, anatomy and morphology, cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, interactions with soil, mineral nutrients, water, symbionts and pathogens, food culture, together with ecological, genetic and methodological aspects related to plant roots and rhizosphere. Work at any scale, from the molecular to the community level, is welcomed.
