    Functional characterization of genes involved in development and function of cluster root in Lupinus albus
    (2020) Zhou, Yaping; Ludewig, Uwe
    White lupin cluster roots are specialized brush-like root structures that are formed in some species under phosphorus (P)-deficient conditions. They intensely secrete protons and organic anions for solubilization and acquisition of sparingly soluble phosphates. Because of the outstanding P efficiency of white lupin, this species has served as an illuminating model for plant adaptations to phosphorus deficiency. Since decades, numerous studies were carried out to gain a comprehensive knowledge of cluster root formation and function. The aim of this study was to identify genetic components involved in cluster root development and to identify the transporter genes that are potentially involved in citrate andmalate secretion under P deficiency as well as under toxic aluminium (Al) exposure.
