| ABSTRACT |
| Climate change profoundly influences sulfur (S) nutrition, which plays a crucial role in plant growth, development, and responses to diseases. Climate-induced stress may impair plant growth, photosynthesis, pollen development, and reproduction. For instance, under high temperature stress, plant photosynthetic efficiency is reduced due to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species, denaturation of heat shock proteins, and alterations in various enzyme activities. Unlike drought stress, plants have developed only a few mechanisms to mitigate heat stress. Utilization of S is one of the efficient strategies to enhance plant tolerance against biotic and abiotic stresses. Plant-derived S-containing secondary metabolites play a vital role in plant-pest and plant-disease interactions in various plants. However, little is known about the roles of S and its management strategies in response to disease attack in wheat and barley under climate change. A deeper understanding of S-based strategies could contribute to sustaining plant health and productivity, thereby supporting global wheat and barley yields in the face of increasing climate change challenges. This review therefore focuses on the roles of S and associated management strategies utilized to support plant growth, development, and reproduction and enhance disease resistance and tolerance to abiotic stresses in wheat and barley under climate change. |
