Organic acids (OAs) are central to cellular metabolism. Many plant stress responses involve
the exudation of OAs at the root–soil interface, which can improve soil mineral acquisition …

Background Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for plant growth and development but it
is often a limiting nutrient in soils. Hence, P acquisition from soil by plant roots is a subject of …

Phosphorus (P) is limiting for crop yield on> 30% of the world's arable land and, by some
estimates, world resources of inexpensive P may be depleted by 2050. Improvement of P …

As an essential plant macronutrient, the low availability of phosphorus (P) in most soils
imposes serious limitation on crop production. Plants have evolved complex responsive and …

Plants acquire phosphorus in the form of phosphate (Pi), the concentration of which is often
limited for plant uptake. Plants have developed diverse responses to conserve and …

The ability of plants to respond appropriately to nutrient availability is of fundamental
importance for their adaptation to the environment. Nutrients such as nitrate, phosphate …

Background Global phosphorus (P) reserves are being depleted, with half-depletion
predicted to occur between 2040 and 2060. Most of the P applied in fertilizers may be …

▪ Abstract The rhizosphere is the zone of soil immediately surrounding plant roots that is
modified by root activity. In this critical zone, plants perceive and respond to their …

The loss of carbon from roots (rhizodeposition) and the consequent proliferation of
microorganisms in the surrounding soil, coupled with the physical presence of a root and …

Phosphate (Pi) is considered to be one of the least available plant nutrients in the soil. High-
affinity Pi transporters are generally accepted as entry points for Pi in the roots. The …
