Sulfur represents the ninth and least abundant essential macronutrient in plants, preceded by carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. The dry matter of sulfur in plants is only about one-fifteenth of that of nitrogen. Both sulfur and nitrogen are necessary to be assimilated into organic metabolites. While nitrogen is mainly used for structural macromolecules, sulfur plays critical roles in the catalytic or electrochemical functions of the biomolecules in cells.
