Rice (
Oryza sativa) is a globally important
cereal crop, and the rational application of fertilizers is necessary
agricultural practice to ensure its sustainable and stable yield. Phosphorus is
one of the essential nutrients for rice, primarily absorbed through the rice
roots. Since rice is often grown in flooded conditions, the root surface of
rice plants often forms iron plaques rich in iron oxides, which play a crucial
role in the migration and transformation of phosphorus in the rhizosphere of
rice. Therefore, this paper reviews the impact of biotic and abiotic factors on
the formation and transformation of iron plaques in rice and discusses the
effect of iron plaques on the absorption and transport of phosphorus in plant
nutrition. Finally, prospects for future research on iron plaques are
presented, aiming to provide a deeper theoretical basis for understanding the
interaction between iron and phosphorus in the rhizosphere of rice.
