Sulfur is an essential nutrient for all living organisms. Plants take up inorganic sulfate from soil, reduce it, and incorporate into cysteine which is a source of reduced sulfur for other cellular components. Among them the amino acid methionine is of great importance as it is essential for animal and human nutrition. Sulfate assimilation pathway and its control are well understood on the physiological level. The bulk of knowledge on the regulation of the pathway, however, has been derived from the model plant Arabidopsis. Given the importance of sulfur for crop yield and quality, this review will summarize the knowledge of sulfur metabolism in crop plants and will discuss how manipulation of sulfur metabolism can help to improve crop productivity.
