The development of phosphorus (P)-efficient crop varieties is
urgently needed to reduce agriculture's current over-reliance on
expensive, environmentally destructive, non-renewable and
inefficient P-containing fertilizers. The sustainable management of
P in agriculture necessitates an exploitation of P-adaptive traits
that will enhance the P-acquisition and P-use efficiency of crop
plants. Action in this area is crucial to ensure sufficient food
production for the world s ever-expanding population, and the
overall economic success of agriculture in the 21st century. This
informative and up-to-date volume presents pivotal research
directions that will facilitate the development of effective
strategies for bioengineering P-efficient crop species. The 14
chapters reflect the expertise of an international team of leading
authorities in the field, who review information from current
literature, develop novel hypotheses, and outline key areas for
future research. By evaluating aspects of vascular plant and green
algal P uptake and metabolism, this book provides insights as to
how plants sense, acquire, recycle, scavenge and use P,
particularly under the naturally occurring condition of soluble
inorganic phosphate deficiency that characterises the vast majority
of unfertilised soils, worldwide. The reader is provided with a
full appreciation of the diverse information concerning plant
P-starvation responses, as well as the crucial role that plant
microbe interactions play in plant P acquisition. Annual Plant
Reviews, Volume 48: Phosphorus Metabolism in Plants is an important
resource for plant geneticists, biochemists and physiologists, as
well as horticultural and environmental research workers, advanced
students of plant science and university lecturers in related
disciplines. It is an essential addition to the shelves of
university and research institute libraries and agricultural and
ecological institutions teaching and researching plant science.
