Integrated transcriptomic analysis identifies coordinated responses to nitrogen and phosphate deficiency in rice.

ABSTRACT: Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are two primary components of fertilizers for crop production. Coordinated acquisition and utilization of N and P are crucial for plants to achieve nutrient balance and optimal growth in a changing rhizospheric nutrient environment. However, little is known about how N and P signaling pathways are integrated. We performed transcriptomic analyses and physiological experiments to explore gene expression profiles and physiological homeostasis in the response of rice (Oryza sativa) to N and P deficiency. We revealed that N and P shortage inhibit rice growth and uptake of other nutrients. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) suggested that N and Pi deficiency stimulate specific different physiological reactions and also some
