Roles, Regulation, and Agricultural Application of Plant Phosphate Transporters
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phosphorus (P) is an essential mineral nutrient for plant growth and development. Low availability of inorganic phosphate (orthophosphate; Pi) in soil seriously restricts the crop production, while excessive fertilization has caused environmental pollution. Pi acquisition and homeostasis depend on transport processes controlled Pi transporters, which are grouped into five families so far: PHT1, PHT2, PHT3, PHT4, and PHT5. This review summarizes the current understanding on plant PHT families, including phylogenetic analysis, function, and regulation. The potential application of Pi transporters and the related regulatory factors for developing genetically modified crops with high phosphorus use efficiency (PUE) are also discussed in this review. At last, we provide some potential strategies for developing high PUE crops under salt or drought stress conditions, which can be valuable for improving crop yields challenged by global scarcity of water resources and increasing soil salinization.

Phosphate: the Silent Challenge
Phosphorus (P) is one of the most vital elements for all living organisms which acts as aconstituent of essential biomolecules such as nucleic acids, phospholipids, and phosphosugars,and as a major contributor to almost all metabolic reactions including photosynthesis,respiration, and energy delivery. It is one of the most needed nutrients for plant growth anddevelopment. Despite high levels of...
متن کاملImproving Phosphorus Efficiency in Crops with Focus on Purple Acid Phosphatase: Potentials and Perspective
Low-phosphorus (P) stress as a key factor limiting plant growth and production is common in most agricultural soils. Most of the soil-applied phosphate will be rapidly immobilized and most of annually applied phosphate fertilizers are fixed in the soil in organic forms by adsorption, sedimentation and transformation. However, excess P application may lead to contamination of water sources by en...
متن کاملComprehensive Genomic Identification and Expression Analysis of the Phosphate Transporter (PHT) Gene Family in Apple
Elemental phosphorus (Pi) is essential to plant growth and development. The family of phosphate transporters (PHTs) mediates the uptake and translocation of Pi inside the plants. Members include five sub-cellular phosphate transporters that play different roles in Pi uptake and transport. We searched the Genome Database for Rosaceae and identified five clusters of phosphate transporters in appl...
متن کاملPhosphate in the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis: transport properties and regulatory roles.
In response to the colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, plants reprioritize their phosphate (Pi)-uptake strategies to take advantage of nutrient transfer via the fungus. The mechanisms underlying Pi transport are beginning to be understood, and recently, details of the regulation of plant and fungal Pi transporters in the AM symbiosis have been revealed. This review summarizes rec...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of phytoremediation on reduction of phosphate, nitrate, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of Ahwaz wastewater during 90 days. A completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replications was used for this experiment. The plants of Typha Latifolica and seven grasses (Polygonum aviculare) were selected acco...
