Abstract
Despite the importance of roots, they have largely been ignored by modern crop research and breeding. We discuss important progress in crop root research and highlight how the context-dependent optimisation of below- and above-ground plant components provides opportunities to improve future crops in the face of increasing environmental fluctuations.Keywords: Root architecture; breeding; flowering time; sustainable agriculture; yield stability
