Key Points

To synthesize knowledge on the mechanisms, genetic pathways, and applications of phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms while addressing technological bottlenecks to optimize their use in sustainable agriculture.
Synthesized evidence on the taxonomic diversity and agricultural applications of phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms.
Evaluated physiological mechanisms and functional genes mediating inorganic phosphorus solubilization and organic phosphorus mineralization.
Examined technological constraints in field implementation and analyzed emerging precision deployment frameworks.
Phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms mobilize inaccessible soil phosphorus into plant-available orthophosphate through organic acid release, proton excretion, and enzymatic hydrolysis.
Identified distinct functional gene networks responsible for inorganic phosphate dissolution and organic phosphorus mineralization.
Modern precision biotechnologies offer viable pathways to transition microbial biofertilizer development from empirical screening toward rationally engineered inoculants.
