“…Este tipo de información es importante debido a que algunas de estas características de la semilla determinan la preferencia del consumidor (Davies, ; el tipo de efecto también puede estar relacionado a la especie vegetal en que se aplique este microelemento y la forma química en que se suministre (Ziogas et al, 2020;Li et al, 2018).…”

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el efecto del Selenio en las características morfológicas, físicas, peso y contenido de minerales esenciales en la semilla del frijol (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Se usó un diseño experimental en bloques completos al azar con siete repeticiones. Los tratamientos fueron tres formulaciones químicas de Selenio: selenito de sodio (Na2SeO3), dióxido de selenio (SeO2) y selenato de sodio (Na2SeO4) a tres concentraciones cada una: 5,10 y 20 mg L-1 más el testigo (sólo agua des-ionizada). La aplicación de 10 mg L-1 de Na2SeO3 mejoró la anchura y longitud del grano, con valores de 7.22 y 12.68 mm, respectivamente y la aplicación de 5 y 20 mg L-1 de SeO2, mejoró el espesor y diámetro del grano, con valores de 7.68 y 5.09 mm, respectivamente. Consecuentemente, el peso de 100 semillas, fue significativamente mayor cuando se suplementó 5 mg L-1 de Na2SeO3 o SeO2, con valores de 30 y 30.99 g, respectivamente. Las formulaciones Na2SeO3 y SeO2 a concentraciones de 5 mg L-1, mejoraron el radio aspecto, volumen y área superficial del grano. Finalmente, la aplicación de SeO2 y Na2SeO3 a concentraciones de 10 y 20 mg L-1,aumentaron moderadamente el contenido de Ca y Cu, respectivamente. Las formulaciones Na2SeO3 y SeO2 a dosis entre 5 a 20 mg L-1 fueron los más consistentes en mostrar un mejor efecto en mejorar los atributos dela semilla de frijol, respecto a la formulación Na2SeO4 en cualquiera de las formulaciones usadas en este estudio.

“…(4) The highest rates of seasonal absorption of applied Fe were reached in the periods of fruit growth (beginning of July until the end of August), these being the times when the greatest contributions must be made. (5) The use efficiency of the applied Fe barely exceeded 15%, which reflects that despite the fact that it is a fairly calcareous soil, the supplied 57 Fe was diluted with assimilable native Fe and the plants absorbed a greater proportion of the available Fe than that provided with the chelate. Finally, (6) as a basic conclusion, it is suggested that the monthly distribution and number of applications of Fe compounds to citrus should be performed following the pattern described in this study, since the seasonal absorption curve showed a very similar response to this one.…”

“…Fruit production and quality are also reduced, and at levels of acute deficiency, mature fruits are usually smaller in size, with soft skin and lack of color. The flavedo of oranges and mandarins characteristically acquire a yellowish color, without reaching the orange-reddish tonalities of the normal fruits, and it diminishes the content of soluble solids in the juice [ 5 ].…”

This work quantifies Fe uptake in young citrus trees, its partitioning among plant compartments, and the contribution of the Fe absorbed from fertilizer to the development of new tissues. A soil pot experiment was conducted using 4-year-old clementine trees (Citrus clementina Hort ex Tan), and a dose of 240 mg Fe was applied by labeled fertilizer (92% atom 57Fe excess). Plants were uprooted at five different phenologic states: end of flowering (May 15), end of fruit setting and fruit drop (July 1), two fruit growing moments (August 1 and October 15), and at complete fruit maturity (December 10). The Fe accumulated in the root system exceeded 90% of the total Fe content in the plant. All organs progressively enriched with 57Fe (8.5–15.5% and 7.4–9.9% for young and old organs, respectively). Reproductive ones reached the highest increase (111% between May and October). 57Fe enrichment from woody organs reflects an increasing gradient to sink organs. The root system accumulated 80% of the Fe absorbed from the fertilizer, but the young organs accumulated relatively more Fe uptake during flowering and fruit setting (15.6% and 13.8%, respectively) than old organs (around 9.8%). Although iron derived from fertilizer (Fedff) preferably supplied young organs (16.7–31.0%) against old ones (2.5–14.9%), it only represented between 13.8% and 21.4% of its content. The use efficiency of the applied Fe (FeUE) barely exceeded 15%. The lowest FeUE were found in young and old organs of the aerial part (1.1–1.8% and 0.7–1.2%, respectively). Since the pattern of the seasonal absorption of Fe is similar to the monthly distribution curve of the supplied Fe, it is recommended that the application of Fe chelates in calcareous soils should be performed in a similar way to that proposed in this curve.

“…Spray with distilled water served as the control. The selection of boric acid dose and the time of application was based on previously published reports (Ziogas et al, 2020). The cultivar “Skeena” was chosen because it is self‐fertile (Kappel et al, 2003).…”

Boron modulates a wide range of plant developmental processes; however, the regulation of early fruit development by boron remains poorly defined. We report here the physiological, anatomical, metabolic, and transcriptomic impact of pre‐flowering boron supply on the sweet cherry fruit set and development (S1–S5 stages). Our findings revealed that endogenous boron content increased in early growth stages (S1 and S2 stages) following preflowering boron exogenous application. Boron treatment resulted in increased fruit set (S1 and S2 stages) and mesocarp cell enlargement (S2 stage). Various sugars (e.g., fructose and glucose), alcohols (e.g., myo‐inositol and maltitol), organic acids (e.g., malic acid and citric acid), amino acids (e.g., valine and serine) accumulated in response to boron application during the various developmental stages (S1–S5 stages). Transcriptomic analysis at early growth (S1 and S2 stages) identified boron‐responsive genes that are mainly related to secondary metabolism, amino acid metabolism, calcium‐binding, ribosome biogenesis, sugar homeostasis and especially to photosynthesis. We found various boron‐induced/repressed genes, including those specifically involved in growth. Several heat shock proteins displayed distinct patterns during the initial growth in boron‐exposed fruit. Gene analysis also discovered several putative candidate genes like PavPIP5K9, PavWAT1, PavMIOX, PavCAD1, PavPAL1 and PavSNRK2.7, which could facilitate the investigation of the molecular rationale underlying boron function in early fruit growth. Substantial changes in the expression of numerous transcription factors, including PavbHLH25, PavATHB.12L, and PavZAT10.1,.2 were noticed in fruits exposed to boron. The current study provides a baseline of information for understanding the metabolic processes regulated by boron during sweet cherry fruit early growth and fruit development in general.
