Description
Phosphorus is hard for lentil plants to get from soil, yet they need it to grow and set seed. Ankita Chakraborty, Arpita Das, and Joydeep Banerjee catalogued a family of enzymes in lentil that help free phosphorus, in a 2025 study. They found 22 such genes spread across the plant's chromosomes, studied their shapes and control regions, and compared them with the same family in soybean, rice, and a model weed.
Most of the proteins appear built for export out of the cell, and their control regions carry switches tied to hunger signals for phosphorus. The authors say the catalogue points to genes worth testing for breeding hardier lentils.
