Abstract:
The biochemical versatility of sulfur (S) lends itself to myriad roles in plant-pathogen interactions. This review evaluates the current understanding of mechanisms by which pathogens acquire S from their plant hosts and highlights new evidence that plants can limit S availability during the immune responses. We discuss the discovery of host disease-susceptibility genes related to S that can be genetically manipulated to create new crop resistance. Finally, we summarize future research challenges and propose a research agenda that leverages systems biology approaches for a holistic understanding of this important element's diverse roles in plant disease resistance and susceptibility.
