What is the ISRR?

The Society’s aim is to promote cooperation and communication between root researchers around the world. Hopefully you will join us in this endeavour.
The main activity of the International Society of Root Research is to hold regular scientific meetings at which the latest root research can be presented. Our last meetings in Scotland and Australia each attracted over 300 participants. The latest meeting in Israel in 2018 was also featured on twitter  and on youtube as are other current news and the quaterly newsletter.
In 2015 we initiated a Lifetime Award prize that was presented to Margaret McCully (2015) and Hans Lambers (2018) for their significant contributions to root research.
