Sulfur metabolism is a key driver of plant-microbe interactions, influencing microbiome assembly, disease resistance, and nutrient cycling in sulfur-limited systems.
- Why it matters: Understanding how sulfur shapes plant-microbe relationships is crucial for improving crop resilience and sustainable agriculture, especially in soils with limited sulfur availability.
- What they did: The review synthesizes current knowledge on microbial sulfur mobilization, plant sulfur compounds, and their roles in mediating microbial community structure and plant immunity, based on recent research.
- The result: Recognizing sulfur as a central integrator enables targeted strategies to enhance plant health and microbiome stability, promoting sustainable nutrient management and crop productivity.
