Tremendous progress has been made on molecular aspects of plant phosphorus (P)
nutrition, often without heeding information provided by soil scientists, ecophysiologists, and …

Increased anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition is driving N-limited ecosystems towards
phosphorus (P) limitation. Plants have evolved strategies to respond to P limitation which …

Phosphorus availability is widely assumed to limit primary productivity in tropical forests,, but
support for this paradigm is equivocal. Although biogeochemical theory predicts that …

Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is an essential macronutrient required for many fundamental
processes in plants, including photosynthesis and respiration, as well as nucleic acid …

We are facing unprecedented phosphorus (P) challenges, namely P scarcity associated with
increasing food demand, and an oversupply of P fertilisers, resulting in eutrophication …

Similar traits and functions commonly evolve in nature. Here, we explore patterns of
replicated evolution across the plant kingdom and discuss the processes responsible for …

Legacy phosphorus (P) that has accumulated in soils from past inputs of fertilizers and
manures is a large secondary global source of P that could substitute manufactured …

Phosphorus (P) is often an important limiting factor for crop yields, but rock phosphate as
fertilizer is a non-renewable resource and expected to become scarce in the future. High P …

Background Limitation of plant productivity by phosphorus (P) supply is widespread and will
probably increase in the future. Relatively large amounts of P fertilizer are applied to sustain …

Soil phosphate represents the only source of phosphorus for plants and, consequently, is its
entry into the trophic chain. This major component of nucleic acids, phospholipids, and …
