Application of stevia low-phosphorus response gene spx family in improving stevia glycoside content
By overexpressing SrSPX2 and SrSPX-RING4, members of the SPX family of stevia low-phosphorus response genes, glycoside synthesis was regulated, solving the problem of limited yield and quality of stevia under low phosphorus stress. This resulted in the improvement of stevia glycoside content and dynamic regulation of phosphorus transport, promoting the tolerance of stevia to low phosphorus stress and the sustainable development of the industry.

AI Technical Summary
Stevia glycoside synthesis is significantly affected by low phosphorus stress. Existing studies have not clarified the role of key gene families in phosphorus signaling pathways in glycoside synthesis, which leads to limited stevia yield and quality. In addition, traditional application of phosphate fertilizers is inefficient and easily leads to resource waste and environmental pollution.
By overexpressing SrSPX2 and SrSPX-RING4, members of the SPX family of stevia low-phosphorus response genes, glycoside synthesis was regulated, increasing the content of steviol glycoside, rebaudioside C, and rebaudioside D, while decreasing the content of rebaudioside A, steviol disaccharides, and total glycosides, thus enhancing the low-phosphorus stress tolerance of stevia.
It significantly improves the aboveground growth of stevia, increases glycoside content, improves stevia yield and quality, dynamically regulates phosphorus signals, optimizes phosphorus transport, reduces resource waste, and promotes the green and sustainable development of the industry.
