Özet

Phosphorus (P) is the second most crucial nutrient for plant growth after nitrogen. However, its highly reactive nature causes formation of insoluble derivatives and limits uptake by the plant roots. The wide spread applications of P based chemical fertilizers cause detrimental effects on soil fertility, agricultural product quality and environment. In this regard, phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms (PSMs) stand out as the most remarkable and promising tools for the development of safer and sustainable technologies. As a result of this, many bacterial and fungal species with significant phosphate-solubilizing activity have been discovered by using the conventional screening methods. However, the growing need for the discovery of new strains of PSMs necessitates the replacement or support to the time-consuming conventional methods with techniques that are more sensitive, reliable, reproducible and less time consuming. In this context, molecular tools and techniques provide novel approaches for microbial phosphate solubilization research. Hence, in this review information on the molecular approaches for the PSMs research is provided and its importance explained. The review also discusses the genes related to phosphate solubilizing mechanisms and molecular tools for screening these genes.
