Stable sulphur isotopes in plants: a review
Abstract
The determination of the natural abundances of stable isotopes has become a useful method by which to study the transformations of elements in biological and ecological studies as well as to investigate the mechanisms of chemical reactions. Unlike carbon and nitrogen isotopes, however, stable sulphur isotopes are used infrequently, and their potential as tracers in biochemical and physiological studies are only beginning to be realized. This review provides an overview of research involving stable sulphur isotopes in studies of plant metabolism and pollution. Topics discussed include the mechanisms and accompanying isotopic fractionations involved during the uptake and assimilation of inorganic sulphur compounds by plants, the utility of plants as bioindicators of environmental sulphur pollution, and the emission of isotopically light H 2 S by plants in response to high concentations of sulphur. Future advances in the field are proposed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
