Roots and the Hidden Half of Plant Biology


Description given on Youtube:
Dr. José R. Dinneny, Carnegie Institution for Science, Department of Plant Biology

We see plants everywhere in our daily lives, but half of the plant, the root system, is hidden from our eyes. Dr. Dinneny will discuss why studying roots is critical for our understanding of how plants respond to changes in the environment and why this knowledge may lead to the next green revolution.
