Abstract excerpt
• The activation of high-affinity root transport systems is the best-conserved strategy employed by plants to cope with low inorganic phosphate (Pi) availability, a role traditionally assigned to Pi transporters of the Pht1 family, whose respective contributions to Pi acquisition remain unclear. • To characterize the Arabidopsis thaliana Pht1;9 transporter, we combined heterologous functional expression in yeast...
