Early sensing of phosphate deprivation triggers the formation of extra root cap cell layers via SOMBRERO through a process antagonized by auxin signaling

Gustavo Ravelo-Ortega et al.

Summary: The role of the root cap in plants' response to phosphate deprivation is not well understood. This study reveals early changes in root structure, physiology, and gene expression under low phosphate levels, highlighting the importance of the transcription factor SOMBRERO in sensing low phosphate levels. Plant roots efficiently adapt to uneven mineral nutrient distribution in soil to improve uptake of sparingly available resources, with short and branched root systems proliferating in areas rich in phosphate.

Insight into soil nitrogen and phosphorus availability and agricultural sustainability by plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria

Qingwei Zeng et al.

Summary: Nitrogen and phosphorus are essential nutrients for vegetation ecosystem but often insufficient in soil. Chemical fertilizers pose environmental risks, making plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) an environmentally friendly alternative. Rhizospheric diazotrophs fix nitrogen and promote plant growth, while phosphate-solubilizing bacteria enhance plant phosphorus uptake. Research into the mechanisms and influences of rhizospheric nitrogen fixation (NF) and phosphate solubilization by PGPR is lacking. Further genetic research and co-inoculation with diazotrophs and PSB strains can enhance soil nutrient sustainability.

Serratia marcescens PLR enhances lateral root formation through supplying PLR-derived auxin and enhancing auxin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis

Chunlei Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel plant growth promoting rhizobacteria named PLR was identified. PLR can enhance plant growth by regulating auxin biosynthesis and signaling in Arabidopsis. Furthermore, PLR has the ability to induce the expression of nutrient transporter genes in an auxin-independent manner. These findings provide evidence for the potential application of PLR in crop yield improvement by accelerating root development.

Rice ACID PHOSPHATASE 1 regulates Pi stress adaptation by maintaining intracellular Pi homeostasis

Suren Deng et al.

Summary: Intracellular phosphate homeostasis is crucial for cell metabolism and growth. Under short-term phosphate starvation, plants induce the expression of acid phosphatase OsACP1 to recycle phosphate from organic phosphate, impacting plant growth and productivity under both sufficient and deficient phosphate conditions. OsACP1 plays a key role in regulating rice growth by recycling phosphate from organic sources in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus.

Plant resilience to phosphate limitation: current knowledge and future challenges

Huikyong Cho et al.

Summary: Phosphorus is essential for all living organisms, especially for plants which require a large amount to grow. The challenge of addressing phosphorus deficiency and scarcity, due to the finite natural resource of phosphate rock, is exacerbated by the increasing demand for food as the global population grows. Advancements in understanding plant mechanisms to regulate phosphorus homeostasis offer opportunities for further research and innovative strategies to improve phosphorus nutrition in plants, addressing a pressing challenge in agriculture in the twenty first century.

Phosphate-solubilising microorganisms for improved crop productivity: a critical assessment

Nelly S. Raymond et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that while phosphate-solubilising microorganisms have positive effects on plant growth under controlled conditions, field experiments do not always demonstrate the same positive responses. The mechanisms observed in vitro do not necessarily translate into improved crop phosphorus nutrition in complex soil-plant systems. Therefore, the current concept of PSM function may not provide a reliable strategy for increasing crop phosphorus nutrition.

Phosphate-Solubilizing Microorganisms: Mechanism and Their Role in Phosphate Solubilization and Uptake

Pratibha Rawat et al.

Summary: Phosphorus is essential for plant metabolism, growth, and development, but its availability for plant uptake is limited due to complexation with metal ions in the soil. Phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms can solubilize insoluble phosphates in soil through various mechanisms, promoting plant growth and improving plant resistance while also benefiting the soil ecosystem.

Recent insights into the metabolic adaptations of phosphorus-deprived plants

D. M. S. B. Dissanayaka et al.

Summary: Plants have evolved adaptive metabolic processes in response to phosphorus deficiency, enhancing their efficiency in phosphorus acquisition and utilization through changes in gene expression, post-transcriptional, and post-translational mechanisms. These responses include up-regulation of high-affinity phosphorus transporters and scavenging enzymes, membrane remodeling, and flexibility in plant metabolism and bioenergetics. These advances are leading to the development of innovative strategies for engineering phosphorus-efficient crops to ensure long-term food security and ecosystem preservation.

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and their biological properties for soil enrichment and growth promotion

Anjali Chauhan et al.

Summary: The soil and its microenvironment play a crucial role in plant growth and sustainable agriculture, focusing on long-term crop and livestock production with minimal environmental impact. Healthy soil is essential for producing quality crops that meet the nutritional needs of living organisms, and soil microflora have emerged as an important natural resource with diverse useful microorganisms. Various beneficial microorganisms in soil are responsible for decomposition, toxin removal, and nutrient cycling, as well as suppressing plant diseases and promoting plant growth. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are a well-studied group of microbes that colonize the rhizosphere and rhizoplane, with diverse roles and uses in sustainable agriculture. Environmental factors and soil properties play a significant role in the efficiency and performance of PGPR, which can be addressed through ecological and functional biological approaches. Recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of rhizobacteria for promoting plant growth traits have been discussed in this review article.
