Abstract

The essentiality of boron to plant nutrition has been unequivocally demonstrated and there is now extensive literature dealing with the physiological role of this element. Nevertheless, it is quite surprising that so little definitive information about the exact function(s) of this element has been obtained. Numerous roles have been proposed; few have had widespread acceptance; others have proved untenable in light of additional experimental evidence; some have been renewed or altered when necessary.
