Abstract:	Background and Aims Purple acid phosphatases (PAPs) are members of the metallo-phosphoesterase family and have been known to play important roles in phosphorus (P) acquisition and recycling in plants. Low P availability is a major constraint to growth and production of soybean,Glycine max. Comparative studies on structure, transcription regulation and responses to phosphate (Pi) deprivation of the soybeanPAPgene family should facilitate further insights into the potential physiological roles of GmPAPs. Methods BLAST searches were performed to identify soybeanPAPgenes at the phytozome website. Bioinformatic analyses were carried out to investigate their gene structure, conserve motifs and phylogenetic relationships. Hydroponics and sand-culture experiments were carried out to obtain the plant materials. Quantitative real-time PCR was employed to analyse the expression patterns ofPAPgenes in response to P deficiency and symbiosis.
