We show here that a rice ( Oryza sativa ) SPX gene , OsSPX1 , is specifically induced by Pi starvation in roots .
Suppression of OsSPX1 by RNA interference resulted in severe signs of toxicity caused by the over-accumulation of Pi , similar to that found in OsPHR2 ( phosphate starvation response transcription factor 2 ) overexpressors and pho2 ( phosphate-responsive mutant 2 ) .
Quantitative RT-PCR showed that expression of OsSPX1 was strongly induced in OsPHR2 overexpression and pho2 mutant plants , indicating that OsSPX1 occurs downstream of OsPHR2 and PHO2 .
The expression of 10 genes associated with the phosphate-starvation signal pathways was analyzed .
Expression of OsPT2 ( phosphate transporter 2 ) and OsPT8 was significantly induced in OsSPX1-RNAi ( OsSPX1-Ri ) plants , suggesting that over-accumulation of Pi in OsSPX1-Ri plants results from an increase in Pi transport .
In contrast , overexpression of OsSPX1 suppressed the induction of expression by Pi starvation of all 10 phosphate starvation-induced genes tested : IPS1 ( induced by phosphate starvation 1 ) , IPS2 , OsPAP10 ( purple acid phosphatase 10 ) , OsSQD2 ( sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol 2 ) , miR399d and miR399j ( microRNA 399 ) , OsPT2 , OsPT3 , OsPT6 and OsPT8 .
This suggests that OsSPX1 acts via a negative feedback loop to optimize growth under phosphate-limited conditions .
