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 systematic review articles and one review article.
