lateral root

secondary root

the branches that develop from deep inside the plant root (i.e. are ENDOGENOUS) where cells of the PERICYCLE become meristematic (see MERISTEM and produce a growing point which differentiates into mature tissues. Such branching occurs behind the root hair zone and is initiated by AUXIN.

In response to light, several molecules and metabolites, such as phytohormones, sucrose, RNA's and proteins, are produced in the aerial part and mobilized at the roots, where they trigger photomorphogenic changes, such as root growth and lateral root emission (LEE et al., 2017).

Galls of the four varieties had lateral roots, with these being particularly abundant in Ojo de Senorita and Negra Imilla; this characteristic has been previously observed in several associations of this nematode with other vegetable crops ( Vovlas et al., 2007; Tordable et al., 2010).

The pericycle is related to the formation of lateral roots (Figure 1), which play an important role in plant development, facilitating oxygen diffusion from the base to the apex as well as water, ion, and nutrient uptake [32, 33], allowing the construction of ramified root systems.
