Best Answer

It is an ingredient in two of the amino acids, methionine and cysteine. So, plants (and all other life forms) need sulfur to make virtually every protein.

These plants particularly need sulphur - cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnip, radish, all mustards, onions, asparagus, and many flowering plants.

There are also a variety of other sulfur-containing compounds, but these vary somewhat among different forms of life
