  abstract = {{I}n this review, we report on the recent developments made using both genetics and functional genomics approaches in the discovery of genes controlling root development in rice. {QTL} detection in classical biparental mapping populations initially enabled the identification of a very large number of large chromosomal segments carrying root genes. {T}wo segments with large effects have been positionally cloned, allowing the identification of two major genes. {O}ne of these genes conferred a tolerance to low phosphate content in soil, while the other conferred a tolerance to drought by controlling root gravitropism, resulting in root system expansion deep in the soil. {F}indings based on the higher-resolution {QTL} detection offered by the development of association mapping are discussed. {I}n parallel with genetics approaches, efforts have been made to screen mutant libraries for lines presenting alterations in root development, allowing for the identification of several genes that control different steps of root development, such as crown root and lateral root initiation and emergence, meristem patterning, and the control of root growth. {S}ome of these genes are closely phylogenetically related to {A}rabidopsis genes involved in the control of lateral root initiation. {T}his close relationship stresses the conservation among plant species of an auxin responsive core gene regulatory network involved in the control of post-embryonic root initiation. {I}n addition, we report on several genetic regulatory pathways that have been described only in rice. {T}he complementarities and the expected convergence of the direct and reverse genetic approaches used to decipher the genetic determinants of root development in rice are discussed in regards to the high diversity characterizing this species and to the adaptations of rice root system architecture to different edaphic environments.},
