Abstract

Recent studies have shown various metabolic and transcriptomic interactions between sulfur (S) and phosphorus (P) in plants. However, most studies have focused on the effects of phosphate (Pi) availability and P signaling pathways on S homeostasis, whereas the effects of S availability on P homeostasis remain largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the interactions between S and P from the perspective of S availability. We investigated the effects of S availability on Pi uptake, transport, and accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana grown under sulfur sufficiency (+S) and deficiency (-S). Total P in shoots was significantly increased under -S owing to higher Pi accumulation. This accumulation was facilitated by increased Pi uptake under -S. In addition, -S increased root-to-shoot Pi transport, which was indicated by the increased Pi levels in xylem sap under -S. The -S-increased Pi level in the xylem sap was diminished in the disruption lines of PHT1;9 and PHO1, which are involved in root-to-shoot Pi transport. Our findings indicate a new aspect of the interaction between S and P by listing the increased Pi accumulation as part of -S responses and by highlighting the effects of -S on Pi uptake, transport, and homeostasis.
