Sulfur metabolism is a central regulator of plant-microbe interactions, influencing microbial community assembly, disease resistance, and nutrient cycling.
- Why it matters: Understanding how sulfur shapes plant-microbe relationships is crucial for improving crop resilience and sustainable nutrient management, especially in sulfur-limited soils.
- What they did: The review summarizes how microbial sulfur metabolism and plant-derived sulfur compounds interact, including microbial mobilization of organic sulfur and plant metabolites like glucosinolates and camalexin.
- The result: Findings suggest sulfur availability and flux influence microbiota composition and immune responses, highlighting sulfur metabolism as a key node in plant-microbe ecological dynamics.
