Other claims from this paper (13)

Observation Thirty-three TaSULTR genes were identified in wheat and assigned to four groups.
Observation The TaSULTR family contained three tandem duplications.
Observation The TaSULTR family contained 28 segmental duplications.
Observation TaSPDT localized to the plasma membrane.
Observation TaSPDT showed phosphorus transport activity.
Observation TaSPDT was mainly expressed at nodes.
Association Low phosphorus elevated TaSPDT expression.
Observation TaSPDT occurred in node vascular bundles and the connecting parenchyma bridge.
Intervention effect TaSPDT knockout reduced phosphorus distribution to young leaves under low phosphorus.
Intervention effect TaSPDT knockout increased phosphorus distribution to older leaves under low phosphorus.
Intervention effect TaSPDT knockout left root phosphorus uptake, shoot transfer and aerial redistribution unaffected.
Intervention effect TaSPDT knockout diminished phosphorus allocation to grains, particularly under phosphorus deficiency.
Mechanism The authors infer that TaSPDT moves phosphorus from xylem to phloem at nodes and favors grain allocation.
