Abstract:Background and aims Iron (Fe) plaque which normally coats rice roots has a strong affinity for phosphorus (P), with a debated effect on plant P uptake. Furthermore, plant responses to P availability shape the rhizospheric environment, possibly affecting the rates of Fe plaque formation and dissolution. The role of Fe plaque to serve as a sink or source of available P may depend on root traits, themselves influenced by P availability. However, the underlying mechanism regulating these interactions remains uncle… Show more
