Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis reveals developmental stage-specific molecular responses to phosphorus deficiency in soybean
Carbon metabolism exhibited compensatory mechanisms, including increased RubisCO and invertase activities, while nitrogen metabolism involved the downregulation of nitrate reductase, glutamine synthetase, and protein content. These findings reveal stage-specific molecular strategies used by P-efficient soybeans under severe limitation and inform sustainable agriculture practices aimed at optimizing crop performance in phosphorus-deficient conditions.
