The maintenance of cellular phosphate (Pi) homeostasis is of great importance in living organisms. The SPX domain-containing protein 1 (SPX1) proteins from both Arabidopsis and rice have been proposed to act as sensors of Pi status. The molecular signal indicating the cellular Pi status and regulating Pi homeostasis in plants, however, remains to be identified, as Pi itself does not bind to the SPX domain.

- - The study investigates how Arabidopsis plants respond to phosphate (Pi) deficiency, specifically focusing on how it inhibits primary root (PR) growth and the roles of various key components in this process.
- - Researchers discovered that three main components—STOP1, ALMT1, and LPR1—work together downstream of ALS3/STAR1 to regulate PR growth under Pi deficiency, with ALS3/STAR1 inhibiting the STOP1-ALMT1 pathway in the nucleus.
- - The findings suggest that while STOP1-ALMT1 and LPR1 are interdependent in controlling Fe accumulation in roots due to malate and that this malate-dependent Fe accumulation is influenced by external Pi levels, the inhibition of
