Trans-membrane movement of sulfate is a fundamental process that controls delivery of
sulfate to sulfur assimilatory pathways. It is facilitated primarily by the members of the …

Early key research milestones for sulfate transport in plants include the first description of
kinetics of sulfate uptake into plant roots (Leggett and Epstein, Plant Physiol 31: 222–226 …

Sulfur (S) is an essential macronutrient for all living organisms. Plants require large amounts
of sulfate for growth and development, and this serves as a major entry point of sulfate into …

Sulfate transporters are integral membrane proteins controlling the flux of sulfate (SO42–)
entering the cells and subcellular compartments across the membrane lipid bilayers. Sulfate …

Sulfur is taken up by the plant and transported in the cell and around the plant mainly as
sulfate. These processes are dependent on the sulfate transporters, and therefore the …

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 …

Proton/sulfate cotransporters in the plasma membranes are responsible for uptake of the
environmental sulfate used in the sulfate assimilation pathway in plants. Here we report the …

Sulfur is an essential element for plant growth, and plant requirements for sulfur are closely
linked to nitrogen availability and growth rate. Adaptive mechanisms exist to optimize supply …

Sulfur remains an important issue on the agenda for crop plant nutrition. In addition to
avoidance of sulfur deficiency, which will impact on yield and quality, there are requirements …

Sulfur (S) is taken up by the roots as sulfate, and for the most part distributed within the plant
as sulfate, before being incorporated into essential sulfur-containing compounds for a range …
