Integrated multi-omics reveals the molecular mechanisms underlying efficient phosphorus use under phosphate deficiency in elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) by Jiajia Luo, Zeping Cai, Rui Huang, Yuanhang Wu, Chun Liu, Chun Liu, Chunqiong Huang, Pandao Liu, Guodao Liu, Rongshu Dong

“…Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient element for plant growth, and deficiency of inorganic phosphate (Pi) limits plant growth and yield. Elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) is an important fodder crop cultivated widely in tropical and subtropical areas throughout the world. …”

Improving phosphorus acquisition efficiency through modification of root growth responses to phosphate starvation in legumes by Zhijian Chen, Linjie Wang, Juan Andres Cardoso, Shengnan Zhu, Guodao Liu, Idupulapati M. Rao, Idupulapati M. Rao, Yan Lin, Yan Lin

“…Hence, Pi starvation is a major constraint limiting plant growth and productivity. Enhancing plant P efficiency can be achieved by improving P acquisition efficiency (PAE) through modification of morpho-physiological and biochemical alteration in root traits that enable greater acquisition of external Pi from soils. …”

Metabolic alterations provide insights into Stylosanthes roots responding to phosphorus deficiency by Jiajia Luo, Yunxi Liu, Huikai Zhang, Jinpeng Wang, Zhijian Chen, Lijuan Luo, Guodao Liu, Pandao Liu

“…Abstract Background Phosphorus (P) deficiency is one of the major constraints limiting plant growth, especially in acid soils. Stylosanthes (stylo) is a pioneer tropical legume with excellent adaptability to low P stress, but its underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. …”
