Although the phosphate (Pi) transporter (PT) of the PHT1 family has been functionally characterized as participating in Pi uptake and transport in plants, information about PT genes in stylo (Stylosanthes guianensis), an important tropical forage legume that exhibits good adaptability to low-P acid soils, is limited. In this study, stylo root growth was found to be stimulated under P deficiency. The responses of PT genes to nutrient deficiencies and their roles in Pi uptake were further investigated in stylo. Four novel PT genes were identified in stylo and designated SgPT2 to SgPT5. Like SgPT1, which had been previously identified, all five SgPT proteins harboured the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) domain. Variations in tissue-specific expression were observed among the SgPT genes, which displayed diverse responses to deficiencies in nitrogen (N), P and potassium (K) in stylo roots. Four of the five SgPTs exhibited high levels of transcriptional responsiveness to P deficiency in roots. Furthermore, SgPT1, a Pi-starvation-induced gene closely related to legume PT homologues that participate in Pi transport, was selected for functional analysis. SgPT1 was localized to the plasma membrane. Analysis of transgenic Arabidopsis showed that overexpression of SgPT1 led to increased Pi accumulation and promoted root growth in Arabidopsis plants. Taken together, the results of this study suggest the involvement of SgPTs in the stylo response to nutrient deprivation. SgPT1 might mediate Pi uptake in stylo, which is beneficial for root growth during P deficiency |
