Boron uptake and translocation in plants
Boron plays key roles in plant metabolism and it is an essential microelement. Boron fertilizers can be applied to soil, or as a liquid foliar treatment.
This figure indicates boron root uptake and translocation pathways in plants.
Even if we are lacking knowledge on this topic, the main findings on the uptake and transport in plant by transporters are shown in this figure.
