Sulfur is an essential nutrient for all organisms. Plants are able to take up inorganic sulfate
and assimilate it into a range of bio-organic molecules either after reduction to sulfide or …

Background and Aims Sulfate assimilation is a pathway used by prokaryotes, fungi and
photosynthetic organisms to convert inorganic sulfate to sulfide, which is further incorporated …

Plant take up the essential nutrient sulfur as sulfate from the soil, reduce it, and assimilate
into bioorganic compounds, with cysteine being the first product. Both sulfate uptake and …

Sulfur is an essential nutrient for all organisms. Plants take up most sulfur as inorganic
sulfate, reduce it and incorporate it into cysteine during primary sulfate assimilation …

Sulfur is an essential nutrient present in the amino acids cysteine and methionine, co-
enzymes and vitamins. Plants and many microorganisms are able to utilize inorganic sulfate …

▪ Abstract Sulfur is essential for life. Its oxidation state is in constant flux as it circulates
through the global sulfur cycle. Plants play a key role in the cycle since they are primary …

The sulfate assimilation pathway is the primary route by which higher plants obtain the sulfur
necessary for growth. Sulfur is involved in a myriad of processes of central importance in …

Plants utilize sulfate to synthesize primary and secondary sulfur-containing metabolites
required for growth and survival in the environment. Sulfate is taken up into roots from the …

Sulfur is required for growth of all organisms and is present in a wide variety of metabolites
having distinctive biological functions. Sulfur is cycled in ecosystems in nature where …

Plants as autotrophic organisms have a set of transporters and enzymes that mediate uptake
and assimilation of inorganic sulfate and subsequent metabolic conversion to organic sulfur …
