🧬 AI profile — grown from 6ic coverage Soil sulfur is a vital nutrient for plant growth, essential for the production of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. It plays a critical role in plant defense mechanisms, helping to regulate the expression of genes involved in disease resistance and stress tolerance. As a key component of plant cell walls, sulfur is also necessary for the synthesis of plant cell wall components, such as glucosinolates and chitinases.
