Abstract

Resolution and analysis of genes encoding components of the pathways of primary sulphur assimilation have provided the potential to elucidate how sulphur is managed by plants. Individual roles for members of gene families and regulatory mechanisms operating at gene, cellular and whole plant levels have been recognized. Sulphur is taken up and transported around the plant principally as sulphate, catalysed for the most part by a single gene family of highly regulated transporters. Additional regulation occurs in the pathway of reduction of sulphate to sulphide and its incorporation into cysteine, which occurs principally within the plastid. Cellular and whole‐plant regulation of uptake, and the assimilatory pathway attempt to balance supply with demand for growth and include mechanisms for re‐mobilization and redistribution of sulphur. Furthermore, optimization of sulphur assimilation requires coordination with carbon and nitrogen pathways, and multiple processes have been proposed to contribute to this balance. Present studies on cis and trans elements are focusing on transcriptional regulation, but this regulation still needs to be linked to apparent metabolite sensing. Whilst the components of the assimilatory pathways have been resolved after many years of controversy, uncertainties remain concerning roles of individual genes in gene families, their sub‐cellular localization and their significance in balancing sulphur flux to sulphur demand of the plant for growth under variable environmental conditions.

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.
