Phosphorus Dynamics: From Soil to Plant

TL;DR: The bioavailability of phosphorus in an intermittent river is influenced by seasonality, being controlled by the organic fraction and the presence of humic acids and refractory organic matter.

TL;DR: Ectopic expression of MdAST1 in Arabidops is in increased the number of lateral roots and root tips, as well as the transcript levels of genes related to Pi uptake and transport; thus, improving Pi utilization in response to a Pi deficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, Sweed and Awad investigated the effect of potassium humate (KH) and micronic sulfur (MS) on some chemical properties of different soils (sandy clay soils, loamy sand and sandy soils).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of broadcast and in line phosphate fertilization in soil with different densities on corn development in a 2x3 factorial arrangement with four replications.

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.
