====== Screenshots ====== ===== Root systems types ===== ==== Adventitious (Fibrous or fasciculated) root system: ==== Palm tree (from 0 to 5 years old) {{ :soft:digr:supplementarypicturesmaller.gif?nolink& |}} Radicle dies quickly after emission (some months) and is replaced by adventitious roots coming out from the base of the stem (example: Monocot plants). {{ :soft:digr:1type_fascicule.png?nolink&300 |}} {{ :soft:digr:1type_fascicule1.gif?nolink& |}} ==== Primary Tap root system: ==== All roots are coming from the vertical growth and branching of the radicle (first root coming out from the seed) which persists during all the plant life (example: Dicot plants). {{ :soft:digr:1type_pivot.png?nolink&300 |}} {{ :soft:digr:1type_pivot1.gif?nolink& |}} ==== Primary tap root system with secondary tap roots: ==== The primary tap root is limited in growth (it can die) and is replaced by additionnal secondary tap roots. {{ :soft:digr:1type_pivotsec.png?nolink&300 |}} {{ :soft:digr:1type_pivotsec1.gif?nolink& |}} ==== Plagiotropic root system ==== The primary tap root is limited in growth (it can die) and is dominated by plagiotropic laterals. {{ :soft:digr:1type_plagio.png?nolink&300 |}} {{ :soft:digr:1type_plagio2.gif?nolink& |}} ===== Growth and development processes ===== ==== Growth ==== {{ :soft:digr:21apicalgrowth.gif?nolink& |}}
