Cluster root formation in white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is induced mainly by phosphorus (P) starvation, and seems to be regulated by the endogenous P status of the plant. Increased formation of cluster roots, when indole acetic acid is supplied to the growth medium of P sufficient plants, and inhibitory effects of kinetin application suggest the involvement of endogenous phytohormones (auxins and cytokinins), which may act in an antagonistic manner in the P-starvation response. Phosphorus deficiency-induced adaptations of white lupin, involved in P acquisition and mobilization of sparingly available P sources, are predominantly confined to the cluster roots, and moreover to distinct stages during their development. Increased accumulation and exudation of citrate and a concomitant release of protons were found to be mainly restricted to mature root clusters after prolonged culture (3–4 weeks) under P-deficient conditions. Inhibition of citrate exudation by exogenous application of anion channel antagonists such as ethacrynic- and anthracene-9-carboxylic acids may indicate involvement of an anion channel. Phosphorus deficiency-induced accumulation and subsequent exudation of citric acid seems to be a consequence of both enhanced biosynthesis and reduced turnover of citric acid in the cluster root tissue, indicated by enhanced expression of sucrose synthase, fructokinase, phosphoglucomutase, phosphoenol-pyruvate carboxylase, but reduced activity of aconitase and slower root respiration. The release of acid phosphatase and of phenolic compounds (isoflavonoids) as well as the induction of a putative high-affinity P uptake system was more highly expressed in juvenile, mature and even senescent cluster regions than in apical zones of non-proteoid roots. An AFLP-cDNA library for cluster root-specific gene expression was constructed to assist in the identification of further genes involved in cluster root development.
