title: Phosphate transport and signaling.
abstract: The discovery of phosphate (Pi) transporter genes has provided a basis for the molecular study of the complex pattern of Pi transport in plants. Over the past two years, a significant amount of information has been generated on the molecular regulation of phosphate transport in plants. Recent developments in plant genomics will soon allow the complete dissection of the signal transduction pathway(s) associated with plant responses to Pi limitation in the rhizosphere.
