Article Synopsis
- - Sulfur (S) and phosphorus (P) are crucial for plant growth, affecting nitrogen fixation and nodule development in legumes, with S distribution providing insight into its role in these processes.
- - Research involved analyzing nodules from plants grown with different P levels, using synchrotron micro-X-ray fluorescence to map S in nodule tissues, revealing a significant concentration of S in the middle cortex of both determinate and indeterminate nodules.
- - Findings showed that P deficiency led to a decrease in S fluorescence intensity and highlighted distinct distributions of magnesium (Mg) and chloride (Cl) within the nodule, indicating S's role in ionic balance and influencing nodule permeability to oxygen.
Climate change is increasingly impacting the water deficit over the world. Because of drought and the high pressure of the rising human population, water is becoming a scarce and expensive commodity, especially in developing countries. The identification of crops presenting a higher acclimation to drought stress is thus an important objective in agriculture.
