Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Low inorganic phosphate (Pi) availability triggers metabolic responses to maintain the intracellular phosphate homeostasis in plants. One crucial adaptive mechanism is the immediate cleavage of Pi from phosphorylated substrates; however, phosphohydrolases that function in the cytosol and putative substrates have not been characterized yet. One candidate gene is Arabidopsis thaliana At1g73010 encoding...
