More Pi, anyone? Interplay between brassinosteroid signaling and the phosphate starvation response.

- Abstract
The article discusses the interplay between brassinosteroid signaling and the phosphate starvation response in plants. Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plants, but it is often depleted in intensively farmed soil. Researchers are interested in enhancing plants' innate mechanisms to cope with phosphorus deficiency. The study shows that overactive brassinosteroid signaling amplifies the phosphate starvation response in rice plants, while the central inhibitor of brassinosteroid signaling downregulates the response. The study also identifies a phosphorylation site on a key regulator of the response, which could be a potential target for gene editing to maximize phosphorus uptake in crops.
