Phosphate Signaling in Plants: Biochemical and Molecular Approach

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Stress Signaling in Plants: Genomics and Proteomics Perspective, Volume 2

Abstract

Phosphate (P) being an essential macronutrient plays a central role in virtually all metabolic processes in plants. Despite the importance, it is one of the least available nutrients and thus, a frequent limiting factor for plant productivity. A substantial amount of P is fixed in soils and unavailable for plants. Due to critical nature of Pi nutrition, plants are compelled to evolve an efficient P-signaling system developing a series of interconnected responses to conserve and remobilize internal Pi and to increase Pi acquisition from the external environment. In this chapter, various adaptations in plants in response to P-starvation have been discussed along with various signaling molecules like Pi, sugars, hormones, and microRNA (miRNA), both at biochemical and molecular level. Some light is also thrown on several important transcription factors involved in Pi signaling pathways. P-Zn interaction and effect of intercropping and root interactions on P-uptake has also been examined.
