| Résumé: | Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved. Phosphorus (P), a macronutrient, plays key roles in plant growth, development, and yield. Phosphate (Pi) transporters (PHTs) and PHOSPHATE1 (PHO1) are central to Pi acquisition and distribution. Potentially, PHO1 is also involved in signal transduction under low P. The current study was designed to identify and functionally characterize the PHO1 gene family in chickpea (CaPHO1s). Five CaPHO1 genes were identified through a comprehensive genome-wide search. Phylogenetically, CaPHO1s formed two clades, and protein sequence analyses confirmed the presence of conserved domains. CaPHO1s are expressed in different plant organs including root nodules and are induced by Pi-limiting conditions. Functional complementation of atpho1 mutant with three CaPHO1 members, CaPHO1, CaPHO1;like, and CaPHO1;H1, independently demonstrated their role in root to shoot Pi transport, and their redundant functions. To further validate this, we raised independent RNA-interference (RNAi) lines of CaPHO1, CaPHO1;like, and CaPHO1;H1 along with triple mutant line in chickpea. While single gene RNAi lines behaved just like WT, triple knock-down RNAi lines (capho1/like/h1) showed reduced shoot growth and shoot Pi content. Lastly, we showed that CaPHO1s are involved in root nodule development and Pi content. Our findings suggest that CaPHO1 members function redundantly in root to shoot Pi export and root nodule development in chickpea |
