Phosphorus is one of the essential macronutrients required for plant growth and development. The plants increase the absorption of phosphorus through an expansion of the root system in the soil when they are in low-phosphorus conditions. At the same time, the changes in biochemical metabolic pathways and the increase of secretion of phosphatase and organic acids activate the insoluble phosphate fixed in the soil. The expression profile in response to low phosphorus was investigated for rice at 6, 24 and 72 ...
