Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals a rapid response to phosphorus deficiency in a phosphorus-efficient rice genotype.

Abstract excerpt

Phosphorus (P) is an essential plant nutrient. Most rice growing lands lack adequate P, requiring multiple P fertiliser applications to obtain expected yields. However, P fertiliser is environmentally damaging, and already unaffordable to the marginal farmers. This warrants developing P-efficient rice varieties that require less P to produce the expected yield. However, genetic factors underlying P-use efficiency...
