Grapevine & Sulfur: Old Partners, New Achievements

  • Chapter
Grapevine Molecular Physiology & Biotechnology

The central role of sulfur in biological functions Sulfur (S) is the 14th more abundant element on earth crust (Charlson et al. 1992), the 9th and least abundant essential macronutrient in plants (Saito 2004) and the 6th element in the cytoplasm (Xavier and LeGall 2007). The interconversion of oxidized and reduced sulfur states, the biogeochemical sulfur cycle, depends mainly on microorganisms (Falkowski et al. 2008) and plants. The inorganic forms of S in soil consist mainly of sulfates (SO4 2-) (Mengel and Kirkby 1982).
