Phenotypes and Molecular Mechanisms Underlying the Root Response to Phosphate Deprivation in Plants.

Abstract excerpt

Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth. The roots are the main organ for nutrient and water absorption in plants, and they adapt to low-P soils by altering their architecture for enhancing absorption of inorganic phosphate (Pi). This review summarizes the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying the developmental responses of roots to Pi starvation, including the primary root,...
