Strategies for improving phosphorus acquisition efficiency of crop plants

In many low input agricultural systems, phosphorus (P) is one of the most limiting mineral nutrients for plant production. Although applying P fertilizer, if available, is the most performing practice, this should be accompanied by other measures. The use of genetically enhanced plants with improved...

description In many low input agricultural systems, phosphorus (P) is one of the most limiting mineral nutrients for plant production. Although applying P fertilizer, if available, is the most performing practice, this should be accompanied by other measures. The use of genetically enhanced plants with improved P acquisition efficiency may represent a sustainable solution to increase crop yields in these systems. This review is intended to provide a summary on adaptation mechanisms of crop plants facing P deficiency as the starting point to develop a research approach for improving P acquisition efficiency. P acquisition efficiency in this review refers to external P efficiency. The suggested research approach includes three strategies: molecular assisted plant breeding, deployment of transgenic plants and the use of agricultural practices. The natural source for improving P nutrition of plants is the existing large genetic variation for plant traits that are associated with P acquisition efficiency and will therefore be emphasized in this review.
