“…Horowitz & Meurer (2006), comparing the effect of S 0 doses in sandy and clay soils, observed that the highest oxidized content occurred in sandy soils, which is attributed to the higher fertility of this soil, especially higher pH and availability of P. However, in the study of these authors, the sandy soil was also the one with the lowest buffering of acidity. This was similar in this study, in which the soils of Bento Gonçalves and Vacaria, with the highest rates of S 0 oxidation and reduction of pH as a function of the doses of S 0 , Aerobic soil microorganisms, especially of the genus Acidithiobacillus, are responsible for the oxidation of S 0 (Li et al, 2010;Tourna et al, 2014;Pourbabaee et al, 2020;Kulczycki, 2021). These, in turn, are influenced by soil chemical variables, such as initial soil pH, organic matter concentration and adequate nutrient availability (Horowitz & Meurer, 2006;Zhao et al, 2017), associated with physical variables such as particle size, temperature, moisture, and aeration (Germida & Janzen, 1993).…”

The elemental sulfur (S0) application may reduce soil pH, benefiting plants adapted to acid conditions and lessening problems of overliming. Nevertheless, there is no official recommendation for its application. The objective of the study was to quantify the S0 doses required to reduce the pH of soils from Southern Brazil. The experiment was carried out in the laboratory in a factorial scheme (5 × 5), with a completely randomized design and three replicates. The treatments consisted of five soils, and five doses of S0, corresponding to 0, 50, 100, 150, and 200% of the estimated dose need to reach pH 4.0. The applied doses of S0 resulted in reduction of pH and base saturation (V%) and increase of potential acidity (H + Al). These effects, however, were reduced due to the low rate of oxidation of the S0 applied (0.76-3.36%). The soil variables correlated with S0 oxidation were Mg2+ (0.86***), Al3+ (-0.82***), H + Al (-0.89***), V% (0.68***) and aluminum saturation (m%) (-0.87***). In the evaluated soils the oxidation of 50 kg ha-1 of S0 was required to reduce one unit of pH in H2O.

“…S is thus transported from the roots to the aerial part through the xylem mainly in the inorganic form of SO 4 2− [ 73 , 74 ]. Like N, S is essential for vital functions and processes, including the formation of compounds such as amino acids, proteins, coenzymes, lipids, sulfolipids, flavonoids, polysaccharides, and nucleotides [ 73 , 75 , 76 , 77 ].…”

Microbial Inoculation Improves Growth, Nutritional and Physiological Aspects of Glycine max (L.) Merr.

Considering a scenario where there is a low availability and increasing costs of fertilizers in the global agricultural market, as well as a finitude of important natural resources, such as phosphorus (P), this study tested the effect of the inoculation of rhizospheric or endophytic microorganisms isolated from Hymenaea courbaril and Butia purpurascens on the growth promotion of Glycine max (L.) Merr. The tests were conducted in a controlled greenhouse system, and the effects of biofertilization were evaluated using the following parameters: dry biomass, nutritional content, and photochemical and photosynthetic performance of plants. Seed biopriming was performed with four bacterial and four fungal isolates, and the results were compared to those of seeds treated with the commercial product Biomaphos®. Overall, microbial inoculation had a positive effect on biomass accumulation in G. max, especially in strains PA12 (Paenibacillus alvei), SC5 (Bacillus cereus), and SC15 (Penicillium sheari). The non-inoculated control plants accumulated less nutrients, both in the whole plant and aerial part, and had reduced chlorophyll index and low photosynthetic rate (A) and photochemical efficiency. Strains PA12 (P. alvei), SC5 (B. cereus), and 328EF (Codinaeopsis sp.) stood out in the optimization of nutrient concentration, transpiration rate, and stomatal conductance. Plants inoculated with the bacterial strains PA12 (P. alvei) and SC5 (B. cereus) and with the fungal strains 328EF (Codinaeopsis sp.) and SC15 (P. sheari) showed the closest pattern to that observed in plants treated with Biomaphos®, with the same trend of direction of the means associated with chlorophyll index, (A), dry mass, and concentration of important nutrients such as N, P, and Mg. We recommend the use of these isolates in field tests to validate these strains for the production of biological inoculants as part of the portfolio of bioinputs available for G. max.

“…However, for a long time, agricultural production has focused on the input of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, neglecting the supplements of S nutrition. This has caused the deficiency of S in soil, which has become a limiting factor for the production and development of fruit trees (Kulczycki, 2021). The uptake of SO 2− 4 from the soil by the roots is an initial and critical step for plants to acquire S, and rootstocks serve as the root system of the cultivated apple tree.…”

Sulfur is an essential nutrient for plant growth and development. Sulfate transporters (Sultrs) are critical for sulfate (SO42-) uptake from the soil by the roots in higher plants. However, knowledge about Sultrs in apples (Malus domestica) is scarce. Here, nine putative MdSultrs were identified and classified into two groups according to the their phylogenetic relationships, gene structures, and conserved motifs. Various cis-regulatory elements related to abiotic stress and plant hormone responsiveness were found in the promoter regions of MdSultrs. These MdSultrs exhibited tissue-specific expression patterns and responded to low sulfur (S), abscisic acid (ABA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and methyl jasmonate (MeJA), wherein MdSultr3;1a was especially expressed in the roots and induced by low S. The uptake of SO42- in cultivated apples depends on the roots of its rootstock, and MhSultr3;1a was isolated from Malus hupehensis roots used as a rootstock. MhSultr3;1a shared 99.85% homology with MdSultr3;1a and localized on the plasma membrane and nucleus membrane. Further function characterization revealed that MhSultr3;1a complemented an SO42- transport-deficient yeast mutant and improved the growth of yeast and apple calli under low S conditions. The MhSultr3;1a-overexpressing apple calli had a higher fresh weight compared with the wild type (WT) under a low-S treatment because of the increased SO42- and cysteine (Cys) content. These results demonstrate that MhSultr3;1a may increase the content of SO42- and Cys to meet the demands of S-containing compounds and improve their growth under S-limiting conditions.
