Root development was examined in roots of young olive trees (Olea europaea L., cv. Manzanillo) grown
under wet and dry water regimes. Cross sections at sequential positions were observed along tbe roots axis from the
apex up to 18 cm from the root tip at intervals of 3 cm. An index was established to facilitate development
comparisons. Complete transition to secondary growth was found closer to the apex in the roots grown in dry soil (at
9 cm) than in the roots grown in watered soil (at 12 cm). Up to 5 cm from the root tip, the cortical tissue was wider in
the roots grown in dry soil than in watered soil. Based on maturity stage, both total root and central cylinder radii
were greater for the dry than the irrigated treatment. No difference between treatments was found in metaxylem vessel
diameter.
