For P acquisition, the PHT gene family controlling P transport provides several candidate genes. In Arabidopsis, the PHTgenes that encode phosphate transporters responsible for transport of P anions are well characterised and are grouped into four families . PHT proteins other than PHT1 are involved in the uptake, distribution and remobilisation of P within the …
