Abstract: The development and expansion of roots directly affect the yield of vegetables, grain and medicinal plants. Therefore, it is of great significance to understand the mechanism of root expansion for improving the yield and function of various crops mainly for harvesting roots.The environmental factors, the changes of assimilation products, the changes of endogenous hormones, and the effects of related genes in the process of root enlargement were discussed, which could provide reference for the study of the mechanism of root enlargement, especially for the study of the expansion of medicinal parts of root medicinal plants.

Key words: the root of plant, expansion, endogenous hormones, genes
