The secretion of acid phosphatase by proteaceae as an adaptation to limited phosphate availability
Abstract
dc:description.abstractThe Proteaceae are a distinctive component of South Africa’s Fynbos and Australia’s Kwongan vegetation and display a number of adaptations to the soils of these nutrientpoor regions, where availability of phosphate (P) is particularly limited. The Proteaceae are notable for the virtually family-wide ability to form cluster roots.
