Boron is an essential plant micronutrient taken up via the roots mostly in the form of boric
acid. Its important role in plant metabolism involves the stabilization of molecules with cis …

The interest of biologists in boron (B) has largely been focused on its role in plants for which
B was established as essential in 1923 (Warington, 1923 [153]). Evidence that B has a …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

To date, the primordial function of boron is its structural role in the cell wall through
stabilization of molecules containing cis-diol groups (borate esters with apiose residues of …

Boron (B) is considered as an essential element for plant growth and development. Sexual
reproduction in plant is more sensitive to low B, than vegetative growth. Considerable …

Half of the world's population-more than 3.5 billion people-depend on rice for more than
20% of their daily energy requirements. Rice productivity is under threat for several reasons …

Agronomic biofortification is the fastest and less expensive method to overcome
micronutrient deficiencies of iron, zinc and selenium. Fertilizers also help in augmenting …

Although boron has a relatively low natural abundance, it is an essential plant micronutrient.
Boron deficiencies cause major crop losses in several areas of the world, affecting …

Digital soil mapping has been widely used to develop statistical models of the relationships
between environmental variables and soil attributes. This study aimed at determining and …

Spike fertility traits are critical attributes for grain yield in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Here,
we examine the genotypic variation in three important traits: maximum number of floret …
