Boron in Plants and Agriculture: Exploring the Physiology of Boron and Its Impact on Plant Growth

Boron in Plants and Agriculture: Exploring the Physiology of Boron and Its Impact on Plant Growth highlights the various emerging techniques and applications that are currently being used in plant-boron interaction studies, and provides a direction towards implementation of programs and practices that will enable sustainable production of crops, resilient to boron stress. Boron is an important micronutrient that plays a crucial role in the growth and development of plants, however despite a significant amount of recent research, there has remained a gap in the understanding of boron update and transportation. Boron deficiency is one of the most widespread deficiencies among plant micronutrients in agriculture and it causes a wide range of symptoms including the cessation of root elongation, reduced leaf expansion and the loss of fertility, depending on the plant species and developmental stage. This book reviews and integrates the currently available information on the impact of boron on functional and adaptive features of plants from molecular, biochemical, physiological to whole plant level. It is a key resource for those working in stress physiology, stress proteins, genomics, proteomics, genetic engineering and other fields of plant physiology related to boron nutrition, including agriculture. Highlights various emerging techniques and applications that are currently being used in plant-boron interaction studies, along with future prospects Provides direction towards the implementation of programs and practices that will enable sustainable production of crops that are resilient to boron stress Introduces global leaders working in the area of plant-boron interactions and shares their research findings INDICE: Chapter 1: Essentiality of Boron in higher Plants Seyed Majid Mousavi, Tahereh Raiesi   Chapter 2: Boron in fruit crops: plant physiology, deficiency, toxicity, and sources for fertilization Renato Vasconcelos Botelho, Marcelo Marques Lopes Müller, Renan Caldas Umburanas, James Matheus Ossacz Laconski, Maurilo Monteiro Terra   Chapter 3: Boron deficiency and toxicity symptoms in plants Monireh Mones Sardrodi, Zahra Dehghanian, Khashayar Habibi, Arash Hemati, Behnam Asgari Lajayer, Janhvi Pandey, Tess Astatkie Chapter 4: Molecular regulatory mechanisms in plants that underlie phenotypic adaptations to low boron levels Michaela Matthes   Chapter 5: From outside to inside: mechanisms modulating plant responses to Boron stress Greice Leal Pereir1, João Antonio Siqueira, Paula da Fonseca Pereira, Rebeca P.
