Abstract excerpt
P-starved plants scavenge inorganic phosphate (Pi) by developing elevated rates of Pi uptake, synthesizing extracellular phosphatases, and secreting organic acids. To elucidate mechanisms controlling these acclimation responses in photosynthetic organisms, we characterized the responses of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to P starvation and developed screens for isolating mutants (designated psr...
