Abstract

The article discusses the traits in Proteaceae from soils with extremely low phosphorous (P) availability and evaluates whether the traits are desirable for crops. It points out that the capacity to form root clusters and mycorrhizal associations are adaptive traits that improve the ability of plants to acquire soil. It cites available strategies to improve P efficiency in cropping systems such as making greater use of crop species with cluster roots, exploring the potential of native species and understanding the molecular basis of P-efficient traits.
