The Japanese Society for Root Research (JSRR) was established in 1992 as a network of people who are interested in plant roots and any related topics. JSRR has issued its quarterly newsletter and held academic meetings in Japan. More than 400 persons are registered as the members to JSRR.

JSRR issues its quarterly Japanese newsletter Root Research for the communication among the members of JSRR and online open-access international journal Plant Root.
JSRR also hold domestic bi-annual meetings and international symposiums to discuss on topics relating to plant roots.
