Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter IX, § 4. Root system associated to a compact group

Let H\mathscr{H} be the set of connected closed subgroups of G containing T, ordered by inclusion. The map H→R(H,T)H \rightarrow R(H,T) is an increasing bijection from H\mathscr{H} to the set of symmetric closed subsets of R(G,T)R(G,T), ordered by inclusion.

If H∈HH\in \mathscr{H}, then L(H)(C)L(H)_{(\mathbf{C})} is the direct sum of tC\mathfrak{t}_{\mathbf{C}} and the gα\mathfrak{g}^{\alpha} for α∈R(H,T)\alpha \in R(H,T); since this is a reductive subalgebra in gC\mathfrak{g}_{\mathbf{C}}, the subset R(H,T)R(H,T) of R satisfies the stated conditions (Chap. VIII, §3, no. 1, Lemma 2 and Prop. 2). Conversely, if P is a subset of R satisfying these conditions, then tC⊕∑α∈Pgα\mathfrak{t}_{\mathbf{C}}\oplus \sum_{\alpha\in P}\mathfrak{g}^{\alpha} is a subalgebra

of gC(\mathfrak{g}_{\mathbf{C}}(loc. cit.) which is rational over R\mathbf{R} (no. 3), and hence of the form h(C)\mathfrak{h}_{(\mathbf{C})}, where h\mathfrak{h} is a subalgebra of g\mathfrak{g}. Let H(P) be the integral subgroup of G defined by h\mathfrak{h}; it is closed (§2, no. 4, Remark 1). We verify immediately that the maps H→R(H,T)H \rightarrow R(H,T) and P→H(P)P \rightarrow H(P) are increasing and inverses of each other.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
