  text: Plant fitness is largely dependent on the root, the underground organ, which,
    besides its anchoring function, supplies the plant body with water and all nutrients
    necessary for growth and development. To exploit the soil effectively, roots must
    constantly integrate environmental signals and react through adjustment of growth
    and development. Important components of the root management strategy involve
    a rapid modulation of the root growth kinetics and growth direction, as well as
    an increase of the root system radius through formation of lateral roots (LRs).
    At the molecular level, such a fascinating growth and developmental flexibility
    of root organ requires regulatory networks that guarantee stability of the developmental
    program but also allows integration of various environmental inputs. The plant
    hormone auxin is one of the principal endogenous regulators of root system architecture
    by controlling primary root growth and formation of LR. In this review, we discuss
    recent progress in understanding molecular networks where auxin is one of the
    main players shaping the root system and acting as mediator between endogenous
    cues and environmental factors.
