Regulating the phosphorus nutrition of plants: molecular biology meeting agronomic needs

Regulating the phosphorus nutrition of plants: molecular biology meeting agronomic needs DOI 10.1007/s11104-009-0071-5 COMMENTARY Alan E.

Gene regulation . P-deficiency . P-starvation response Understanding of the phosphorus (P) nutrition of plants has been the subject of considerable research effort spanning over many decades. For soil and environmental scientists, agronomists, plant physiologists and breeders alike, there has been a common goal to better understand the physico-chemical and biological interactions of P in soil-plant systems.
