The four main headings to this review are: properties of the root surface (mentioning
mathematical models of nutrient uptake, root hairs, and modifications of rhizosphere nutrient …

The mechanisms which have evolved in higher plants to cope with excess sulfur in their
environments are reviewed. Survival in a sulfur-rich environment is seldom achieved …

The activity of ATP sulfurylase extracted from roots of intact canola (Brassica napus L. cv
Drakkar) increased after withdrawal of the S source from the nutrient solution and declined …

Abstract ATP sulfurylase and 5′-adenylylsulfate (APS) reductase catalyze two reactions in
the sulfate assimilation pathway. Cell fractionation of Arabidopsis leaves revealed that ATP …

To gain insight into the regulatory mechanisms and the signals responsible for the
adaptation of higher plants to conditions of varying sulfate availability, we have isolated from …

Large amounts of polyphenolics in cotton leaves make it difficult to obtain high-quality
genomic DNA during extraction. A procedure to isolate nuclear DNA from local cotton leaves …

When young plants of Macroptilium atropurpureum, cv. Siratro were deprived of external
sulphate (-S plants) growth of shoots and roots continued at rates comparable to those in …

Enzymes of the sulfur assimilation pathway are potential targets for improving nutrient
content and environmental stress responses in plants. The committed step in this pathway is …

Sulfur plays an important role in plants, being used for the biosynthesis of amino acids,
sulfolipids and secondary metabolites. After uptake sulfate is activated and subsequently …

Soybeans are a rich source of protein and a key feed ingredient in livestock production, but
lack sufficient levels of cysteine and methionine to meet the nutritional demands of swine or …
