Functional Genomics Approaches for the Study of Low Phosphate Responses in Higher Plants

Abstract

Abstract: Phosphorus（Pi）plays an important role in higher plants on the growth and development, and Pi availability is frequently a limiting factor for crop quality and productivity due to the deficiency of soluble inorganic Pi in many soils worldwide. A number of morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular responses have evolved in plants that allow them to grow and prosper in the presence of low levels of available. This review examine and compares several recent advanced studies related to the functional genomics aspects of plant responses to Pi stress, such as the gene expression profiles of phosphorus stress induced, the differences in gene function categories, the complex network of regulatory genes, the non coding RNAs and plant hormone involved in the regulation mechanism of plant tolerance to low phosphorus were also highlighted and assessed.

Key words: Phosphate stress, Functional genomics, Differential expression profiling, Gene network controlling, Non coding RNA
