摘要: Phosphorus deficiency poses a significant challenge to the growth and productivity of crops, particularly in nutrient-poor soils. This study investigates the effects of phosphorus deficiency on the growth, endogenous phytohormones, metabolome, and transcriptome of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) over a growth period from 30 to 120 days. We found that low phosphorus conditions significantly reduced both above- and below-ground biomass, while tuber number remained unchanged. Endogenous phytohormone analysis revealed altered levels of abscisic acid (ABA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and cytokinins, indicating a complex hormonal response to phosphorus starvation. Transcriptomic analysis identified a total of 6324 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at 60 days, with significant enrichment in pathways related to stress response and phosphorus utilization (PAPs and PHO1). Metabolomic profiling revealed notable shifts in key metabolites, with consistent downregulation of several phosphorous-related compounds. Our findings highlight the intricate interplay between growth, hormonal regulation, metabolic reprogramming, and gene expression in response to phosphorus deficiency in sweet potato. This research underscores the importance of understanding nutrient stress responses to enhance sweet potato resilience and inform sustainable agricultural practices. Future research should focus on exploring the potential for genetic and agronomic interventions to mitigate the effects of phosphorus deficiency and optimize sweet potato productivity in challenging environments.
