“…At a proteomic level, the differential expression of HKX1 and MAKR6 genes using the RAPD-PCR method in strawberry plants exposed to combined doses of B x Zn ( Kiryakova et al., 2016 ) was analyzed. The function of the proteins encoded by these genes is mainly related to plant hormones, signal transduction and sugar metabolism ( Jing et al., 2020 ; Novikova et al., 2022 ), raising interest in such genes whose expression may offer protection during the B x Zn interaction.…”

Boron (B) is an essential microelement for plants, and its deficiency can lead to impaired development and function. Around 50% of arable land in the world is acidic, and low pH in the soil solution decreases availability of several essential mineral elements, including B, magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), and potassium (K). Plants take up soil B in the form of boric acid (H3BO3) in acidic soil or tetrahydroxy borate [B(OH)4]- at neutral or alkaline pH. Boron can participate directly or indirectly in plant metabolism, including in the synthesis of the cell wall and plasma membrane, in carbohydrate and protein metabolism, and in the formation of ribonucleic acid (RNA). In addition, B interacts with other nutrients such as Ca, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), K, and zinc (Zn). In this review, we discuss the mechanisms of B uptake, absorption, and accumulation and its interactions with other elements, and how it contributes to the adaptation of plants to different environmental conditions. We also discuss potential B-mediated networks at the physiological and molecular levels involved in plant growth and development.
