Phosphorus Dynamics: From Soil to Plant

TL;DR: A 60-day greenhouse experiment was performed to evaluate the potential of vetiver grass to phytostabilize soil contaminated with copper (Cu), and the impact of Cu exposure on its lignocellulosic composition and downstream bioethanol production as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: This review assesses phosphorus drip fertigation in Mediterranean agriculture, highlighting its potential for improving water and nutrient use efficiency, and discusses the limitations of traditional P fertilizers, new formulations, and their effects on plant growth and crop productivity.

TL;DR: The results showed that spontaneous species are more tolerant to P deficiency than cultivated barley, and these native Poaceae species may represent genetic resources for the improvement of barley.

TL;DR: In this article , Wang et al. explored NIRS in soils from the grassland soil samples on the northern Tibetan Plateau, and compared the results of the Hedley extraction with the laboratory-based nIRS model, showing that using NIRs to predict the more stable P pools, combined with Hedley fractionation focusing on the labile P pool, can be a promising approach for soils in alpine grasslands on the Tibetan plateau.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the relationship between Mineral Nutrition and Plant Diseases and Pests, and the Soil-Root Interface (Rhizosphere) in Relation to Mineral Nutrition.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors put forward the case for including long-term phosphorus scarcity on the priority agenda for global food security, and presented opportunities for recovering phosphorus and reducing demand together with institutional challenges.

TL;DR: Physiological, biochemical, and molecular studies of white lupin and other species response to P-deficiency have identified targets that may be useful for plant improvement, and Genomic approaches involving identification of expressed sequence tags found under low-P stress may also yield target sites for plant improved.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give an overview of those chemical processes that are directly induced by plant roots and which can affect the concentration of P in the soil solution and, ultimately, the bioavailability of soil inorganic P to plants.
