Root plasticity and Pi recycling within plants contribute to low-P tolerance in Tibetan wild barley

Abstract Background Barley is a low phosphorus (P) demand cereal crop. Tibetan wild barley, as a progenitor of cultivated barley, has revealed outstanding ability of tolerance to low-P stress. However, the underlying mechanisms of low-P adaption and the relevant genetic controlling are still unclear...
