The LSU protein family is involved in sulfur assimilation, stress responses, and broader plant growth and resilience, extending beyond sulfur starvation responses.
- Why it matters: Understanding the functions of proteins induced during sulfur deficiency fills a critical knowledge gap in plant adaptation mechanisms, which could improve crop resilience under nutrient stress.
- What they did: The review summarizes experimental evidence on the roles of the SDI and LSU protein families in sulfur metabolism, stress responses, and plant adaptation, with a focus on recent findings about LSU functions.
- The result: Findings suggest LSU proteins have broader roles in plant growth and stress resilience, highlighting their potential as targets for enhancing plant adaptation to nutrient and environmental stresses.
