    Specific galactolipids species correlate with rice genotypic variability for phosphate utilization efficiency
    (Elsevier B.V., 2021) Verma, Lokesh; Kohli, Pawandeep Singh; Maurya, Kanika; K B, Abhijith; Thakur, Jitendra K.; Giri, Jitender
    Membrane lipid remodeling helps in the efficient utilization of phosphorus (P) by replacing phospholipids with galactolipids during P deficiency. Previous studies have shown lipid remodeling in rice under P deficiency; however, main lipid classes did not show association with superior P-use-efficiency in rice genotypes. Here, diverse rice genotypes were extensively phenotyped in normal (NP) and low P (LP) conditions. Based on the phenotypic response to P deficiency, genotypes were identified as tolerant and sensitive. Further, bulks were generated differing in their physiological P-use-efficiency (PPUE) during LP condition. Shoot lipidome profiling of genotypes was performed and used to correlate the abundance of various lipid classes and their constituent species with the PPUE of the genotypes. Lipid remodeling was observed as a P-starvation-induced response in all the genotypes. However, neither total galacto- and phospholipids nor the lipid classes correlated with PPUE during P deficiency. However, the difference in PPUE in the two bulks correlated with specific lipid species of galactolipids (DGDG, MGDG). Further, DGDG34:3 had the highest Mol% among the differentially accumulated lipid species between the two bulks. Our study reveals the importance of specific galactolipids species in rice adaptation to P deficient soils and thus opens new targets for future research.

    Purple acid phosphatases: roles in phosphate utilization and new emerging functions
    (Springer Nature Publishing AG, 2022) Bhadouria, Jyoti; Giri, Jitender
    Plants strive for phosphorus (P), which is an essential mineral for their life. Since P availability is limiting in most of the world’s soils, plants have evolved with a complex network of genes and their regulatory mechanisms to cope with soil P defciency. Among them, purple acid phosphatases (PAPs) are predominantly associated with P remobilization within the plant and acquisition from the soil by hydrolyzing organic P compounds. P in such compounds remains otherwise unavailable to plants for assimilation. PAPs are ubiquitous in plants, and similar enzymes exist in bacteria, fungi, mammals, and unicellular eukaryotes, but having some diferences in their catalytic center. In the recent past, PAPs’ roles have been extended to multiple plant processes like fowering, seed development, senescence, carbon metabolism, response to biotic and abiotic stresses, signaling, and root development. While new functions have been assigned to PAPs, the underlying mechanisms remained understood poorly. Here, we review the known functions of PAPs, the regulatory mechanisms, and their relevance in crop improvement for P-use-efciency. We then discuss the mechanisms behind their functions and propose areas worthy of future research. Finally, we argue that PAPs could be a potential target for improving P utilization in crops. In turn, this is essential for sustainable agriculture.
