Fig. 2.

Schematic presentations of generic root nomenclature in monocotyledonous (left side) and dicotyledonous (right side) plants and the corresponding nomenclature as proposed by the International Society of Root Research (ISRR; centre); colours of nomenclature match the respective roots in the drawing; lines indicate superordinate terms. Roots potentially originating from the scutellar node (e.g. in wheat) are not drawn. See Box 1 for further information on root entities and synonyms; drawing not to scale.
