Abstract:

The purpose of this review is to gain an in-depth understanding of the absorption mode and transport mechanism of sulfur in plants. The importance of sulfur to plants, the symptoms of plant sulfur deficiency and the mechanism of sulfur absorption and transport of plants in recent years are summarized. The study focuses on the transport mechanism and active process of sulfate, expounds that the process of sulfate entering the plant includes activation, reduction and cysteine synthesis. Research on the changes of sulfate in plant at home and abroad, and the utilization mechanism of various existing forms of sulfate are concluded. Overall, the study lists existing problems in the research field and discusses future research priorities.

Key words: plant, sulfur, transport mechanism, sulfate, cysteine
