Main Results:

  • Plants utilize morphological, physiological, and molecular strategies to acquire phosphate.
  • Phosphate transporters and signaling pathways are critical for phosphate homeostasis.
  • Numerous genes are activated under phosphate starvation, contributing to acquisition and translocation.

Conclusions:

  • Plant adaptation to phosphate deficiency involves intricate molecular mechanisms.
  • Recent discoveries in phosphate transporters and gene regulation offer new research avenues.
  • Further study of molecular biology is essential for understanding and improving plant phosphate acquisition.
