“…These studies revealed that in general boron tolerance of cultivars varied from high to low and boron concentrations of low tolerant cultivars were higher than those of high boron tolerant cultivars. A considerable genotypic variation in susceptibility to boron toxicity has been identified for agronomic species like wheat and barley (Nable and Paull 1991;Paull et al 1992). Donghua et al (2000) investigated the effects of boron ions on root growth and cell division of broadbean.…”

“…Boron tolerance of bread wheat (Paull et al 1992), durum wheat (Jamjod 1996), barley (Jenkin 1993) and field pea (Pisum sativum) (Bagheri et al 1996) is controlled by partially dominant nuclear genes. There have been many investigations on inter-specific variation, with each species or genus represented by a single variety (Maas 1987).…”

Boron is found naturally in the earth's crust in the oxidized form as borax and colemanite, particularly in the oceans, sedimentary rocks, coal, shale, and some soils. It is never found in the elemental form in nature possessing a complex chemistry similar to that of silicon, with properties switching between metals and non-metals. Boron has become an important and strategic element in terms of developing technologies. It is released into the environment mainly through the weathering of rocks, volatilization from oceans, geothermal steam, burning of agricultural refuse and fuel wood, power generators (coal/oil combustion), glass industry, household use of boron-containing products (including soaps and detergents), borax mining and processing, leaching from treated wood and paper, chemical plants, and sewage/sludge disposal, but a major proportion originates from the weathering of rocks. Boron is regarded as an essential element for human beings, animals and plants. Boron occurs in soils at concentrations ranging from 10 to 300 mg kg −1 depending on the type of soil, amount of organic matter, and amount of rainfall. The treatments lead to significant increases in the productivity of some plants but in certain cases a decrease is seen as the boron level increases with the boron content of irrigation water, in particular on the soils with a heavy texture, high CaCO 3 and clay content. Lack of boron in plants results in necrosis but excess amounts are said to produce poisonous effects. Turkey produces more than 60% of the world's borax, with important boron reserves located in Susurluk, Bigadic and Sindirgi regions of Balikesir, Kestelek-Bursa, Emet-Kutahya, the largest reserves occur in Kirka-Eskisehir. Therefore, there is a naturally occurring high level of boron in the ground waters in some of these areas due to the excess amounts of boron given out to the environment during washing and purification processes which result in the pollution of cultivated areas. An attempt will be made here to present an overview of the plant diversity on the boron contaminated soils in Turkey, effects of different concentrations of boron on the germination ability of some plants and possible candidates for phytomining of the soils showing boron toxicity symptoms.

“…B toxicity leads to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in wheat (Gunes et al, 2007), barley (Inal et al, 2009) and tomato (Cervilla et al, 2007). Paull et al, 1992;Noctar et al, 1997 found that when exposed to B stress include leaf burn, decreased fruit size and number, delayed development and reduced vigor The typical symptoms showed by plant.Exogenous application of MeJA has been shown to counter the boron toxicity in plants. When boron stressed plants of Artemisia were foliarly sprayed with MeJA, it trigger the synthesis of antioxidant enzymes, reduced the amount of lipid peroxidation and enhances artemisinin content.…”

Experimental tolerance to boron of the plant species Nicotiana glauca, Jacaranda mimosifolia, Tecoma stans, Medicago sativa y Spinacea oleracea in Argentina. The activity of boron industries is a punctual and diffuse source of air, soil and water pollution. Therefore, it is a priority to study possible ways of reducing this impact. A relatively new technology for reducing soil pollution is phytoremediation, which uses plants and associate microorganisms. The first step in phytoremediation is to detect tolerant plant species, which is the objective of this work. A laboratory experiment to assess the germination, survival and growth of different species at different boron concentrations was carried out following a factorial design with two factors: plant species and boron concentration. Boron concentrations were determined at the beginning and the end of the experiment, taking into account substrates with and without vegetation. We found significant differences for treatment, species and the interaction species*treatment. N. glauca, M. sativa and J. mimosifolia were the most tolerant species. The other species had a decrease in the response variables, with the concentration of the pollutant. All the species had a low survival at the highest boron concentration. The reduction in boron concentration at the end of the experiment was higher in the 30 ppm treatment with M. sativa and the lower was registered in the 20 ppm treatment with J. mimosifolia and in 30 ppm with T. stans and S. oleraceae. We conclude that N. glauca, M. sativa and J. mimosifolia can be considered in remediation plans. Rev. Biol. Trop. 56 (3):
