Purple acid phosphatases in coffee-genome-wide identification and the transcriptional profile of selected members in roots upon Pi starvation.

ABSTRACT: Phosphorus (P) availability is determinant for crop productivity and, despite the sufficient amount of this nutrient in arable land, most of it remains insoluble, leading to the need of high fertilizer input. To cope with P scarcity forecasts and also for cropping costs alleviation, genotypes better adapted to promote P solubilization and absorption are required, especially for perennial crops. Coffee is one of these important perennial crops cultivated in soils with low P availability, and thus we aimed to study adaptive strategies to coffee genotypes in acquire phosphorus. In this study, we focused on rhizosphere phosphatase activity, a major characteristic related to P solubilization from organic pools. To explore the genetic basis of this characteristic, we firstly identified 29 Pur
