ISOLATED POLYNUCLEOTIDE ENCODING A NOVEL PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER IN PLANTS AND A METHOD OF MODULATING PHOSPHATE UPTAKE IN PLANTS

摘要

An isolated polynucleotide encoding a novel plant phosphate transporter and, more particularly, to an essential phosphate transporter which, when inactivated, is associated with phosphate deficiency syndrome in plants, and to methods for using same to modulate, i.e., increase or decrease, phosphate uptake in plants.
