Abstract
This special section of Plant and Soil contains 12 contributions based on presentations at the 10th Symposium of the International Society of Root Research (ISRR10), which took place in Israel from 8 to 12 July, 2018 (https://www.ortra.com/events/isrr10/Home.aspx). The symposium promoted fundamental understanding of the diverse aspects of root biology. The symposium, titled: “Exposing the Hidden Half - Root Research at the Forefront of Science”, assembled multiple disciplines in order to facilitate exploration of novel approaches and investigation of complex processes and mechanisms. The intersections of root physiology, root development, root architecture and root interactions with the environment were tackled by researchers from around the globe through oral presentations, poster sessions and discussions. Basic research at multiple scales (proteins, cells, tissues and the root system as a whole) and cutting-edge methodologies were highlighted as important means to advance plant health and growth, thereby supporting sustainable and nutritious food production.
