The cycling of climate-active sulfur compounds by major crops TODD_UEA_ARIES27

University of East Anglia
School of Biological Sciences
Scientific background. Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is known as a marine anti-stress compound made by algae and bacteria. It has key roles in global nutrient and sulfur cycling, signalling, and microbial DMSP catabolism releases climate-active gases (CAG), notably dimethylsulfide (DMS). Read more
