Metabolic adaptations of the non‐mycotrophic Proteaceae to soils with low phosphorus availability

H Lambers, PL Clode, HJ Hawkins… - … Reviews Volume 48 …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Proteaceae are almost all non‐mycorrhizal and most species produce proteoid (= cluster)

Convergence of a specialized root trait in plants from nutrient-impoverished soils: phosphorus-acquisition strategy in a nonmycorrhizal cactus

A Abrahão, H Lambers, A Sawaya, P Mazzafera… - Oecologia, 2014 - Springer
Abstract In old, phosphorus (P)-impoverished habitats, root specializations such as cluster
roots efficiently mobilize and acquire P by releasing large amounts of carboxylates in the …
