Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Excess boron decreased seedling root length and seedling dry weight of wheat accessions compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Excess boron decreased grain number per spike and grain yield of wheat accessions compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Excess boron significantly increased seedling boron concentration and content in wheat.
- Intervention effect Excess boron significantly increased the percentage of sterile spikelets per spike in wheat.
- Intervention effect Excess boron significantly increased the number of spikes per m2 in wheat.
- Intervention effect Spike length, number of spikelets per spike and anthesis date of wheat remained unaffected by excess boron.
- Observation Most of the wheat accessions with high and stable yields under boron treatments were of local origin.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that adaptation to environmental factors other than elevated soil boron plays an important role in overall field boron tolerance of wheat.
- Association Effects of excessive external boron on boron accumulation at the seedling stage in the laboratory corresponded to its effects on yield in the field.
