Article Synopsis
  • A reasonable soybean-maize intercropping strategy enhances soil phosphorus turnover and crop phosphorus absorption, ultimately decreasing the need for phosphorus fertilizers.
  • The study focused on two soybean genotypes, showing that the intercropping improved the P uptake and biomass of one specific soybean variety (Yuechun 03-3) while having no effects on the other (Essex) or on maize.
  • It was found that Yuechun 03-3 had increased root length and root exudates, which correlated with higher phosphorus uptake, indicating that choosing the right soybean genotype in intercropping can optimize phosphorus efficiency in agriculture.

As an essential nutrient element, phosphorus (P) plays an important role in plant growth and development. Low P availability is a limiting factor for crop production, especially for legume crops (e.g.

Proteins containing the SPX domain are believed to play vital roles in the phosphorus (P) signalling network in plants. However, the functions of SPX proteins in legumes remain largely unknown. In this study, three SPX members, PvSPX1-PvSPX3 were cloned from common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.

Protein dephosphorylation mediated by protein phosphatases plays a major role in signal transduction of plant responses to environmental stresses. In this study, two putative protein phosphatases, PvPS2:1 and PvPS2:2 were identified and characterized in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The two PvPS2 members were found to be localized to the plasma membrane and the nucleus by transient expression of PvPS2:GFP in onion epidermal cells.
