  abstract = {{P}hosphorus ({P}) is essential for plant growth and productivity. {I}t is one of the most limiting macronutrients in soil because it is mainly present as unavailable, bound {P} whereas plants can only use unbound, inorganic phosphate ({P}i), which is found in very low concentrations in soil solution. {S}ome ectomycorrhizal fungi are able to release organic compounds (organic anions or phosphatases) to mobilize unavailable {P}. {R}ecent studies suggest that bacteria play a major role in the mineralization of nutrients such as {P} through trophic relationships as they can produce specific phosphatases such as phytases to degrade phytate, the main form of soil organic {P}. {B}acteria are also more effective than other microorganisms or plants at immobilizing free {P}i. {T}herefore, bacterial grazing by grazers, such as nematodes, could release {P}i locked in bacterial biomass. {F}ree {P}i may be taken up by ectomycorrhizal fungus by specific phosphate transporters and transferred to the plant by mechanisms that have not yet been identified. {T}his mini-review aims to follow the phosphate pathway to understand the ecological and molecular mechanisms responsible for transfer of phosphate from the soil to the plant, to improve plant {P} nutrition.},
