Abstract Nitrogen (N), potassium (K), and phosphorus (P) are essential macronutrients for
plant growth and development, and their availability affects crop yield. Compared with N, the …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 20–24 nucleotide noncoding RNAs abundant in plants and
animals. The biogenesis of plant miRNAs involves transcription of miRNA genes, processing …

To ensure high crop yields in a sustainable manner, a comprehensive understanding of the
control of nutrient acquisition is required. In particular, the signalling networks controlling the …

One of the most common challenges for both conventional and modern crop improvement is
that the appearance of one desirable trait in a new crop variety is always balanced by the …

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 …

It has been almost 25 years since the first report of the gene encoding a high-affinity
phosphate transporter (PT), PHO84, in yeast. Since then, an increasing number of yeast …

Plant vacuoles serve as the primary intracellular compartments for inorganic phosphate (Pi)
storage. Passage of Pi across vacuolar membranes plays a critical role in buffering the …

PHR2, a central regulator of phosphate signaling in rice, enhanced the expression of
phosphate starvation-induced (PSI) genes and resulted in the enhancement of Pi acquisition …

Members of the Arabidopsis thaliana PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER1 (PHT1) family are key
players in acquisition of Pi from the rhizosphere, and their regulation is indispensable for the …
