支撑根是在一些大型谷类作物如玉米中发现的一组独特但知之甚少的器官。这些根由地上茎节发育而成，可以保持气生或长入地下。尽管它们的名字，这些根支撑植物的功能只是最近才显示出来。在这篇文章中，我讨论了目前对支撑根功能和发育的理解，以及关于这些迷人器官的众多开放性问题。
Brace roots are a unique but poorly understood set of organs found in some large cereal crops such as maize. These roots develop from aerial stem nodes and can remain aerial or grow into the ground. Despite their name, the function of these roots to brace the plant was only recently shown. In this article, I discuss the current understanding of brace root function and development, as well as the multitude of open questions that remain about these fascinating organs.
