Root Hairs
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-540-79404-2 (ISBN)
Root hairs, the tip-growing extensions of root epidermal cells, are a model system for answering many plant cell and developmental biology research questions. This book, written by experts in the field, covers the research up to 2008 on cellular, genetic, electrophysiological and developmental aspects of root hair growth, as well as the interaction of root hairs with rhizobia and mycorrhizae in the establishment of symbiosis. With a wealth of information on technical and experimental aspects useful in the laboratory, this comprehensive book is a valuable resource for researchers and students in the broad field of plant cell and molecular biology.
Prof. Anne Mie C. Emons

From the reviews:
"Edited by Emons and Ketelaar ... this 18-chapter book, part of the 'Plant Cell Monographs' series, is a current review of the subject by experts in their respective field of research. ... In addition to offering a well-written and edited synopsis of ... topics, each chapter includes one or more detailed methods or protocols that are germane to the topic. ... useful reference for researchers or advanced students in the field. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, and faculty." (L. M. Baird, Choice, Vol. 46 (11), 2009)
