International Symposium "Root Research and Applications"
2-4 September 2009, Vienna, Austria
 
During recent decades, six symposia organized by the International Society of Root Research (ISRR) have stressed the importance of the plant roots hidden in the soil. The 7th Symposium of the ISRR "Root research and applications" is now to take place in honour of our dear colleague Prof. Dr. Lore Kutschera, who organized the 1st Symposium in Austria in 1982.

Just in time before the conference the 7th atlas on roots (Wurzelatlas der Kulturpflanzen gemäßigter Gebiete mit Arten des Feldgemüsebaues) has been published. This last root atlas marks perhaps the end of an era, but the spirit in which it was produced needs to be preserved and is an example and motivation for young researchers.
