      abstract     = {The quest for global food security has long been a pressing
                      challenge, as the world’s population continues to grow.
                      One crucial aspect of addressing this challenge lies in
                      maximizing crop yields through a deeper understanding of the
                      intricate relationship between crop plant roots and their
                      environment. Root systems play a fundamental role in
                      nutrient uptake, water absorption, and anchoring plants into
                      the soil. Recent advancements in agricultural research have
                      shed light on the dynamic interactions occurring beneath the
                      surface, uncovering the potential to enhance crop
                      productivity and sustainability. In this Research Topic, we
                      delve into the fascinating world of root-environment
                      interactions and explore the latest breakthroughs and
                      innovative approaches that hold promise for revolutionizing
                      agricultural practices and meeting the demands of an
                      ever-expanding population. Crop roots support establishment,
                      development, and growth of plants that are the basis of
                      human nutrition. To value the importance of crop root
                      research, this Research Topic invited manuscripts of crop
                      plants such as maize, rice, wheat, potato, soybean, and
                      others summing up to four original research articles, two
