Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect High boron stress inhibited sugar beet growth.
- Intervention effect High boron stress significantly decreased sugar beet biomass.
- Observation Boron accumulation in shoots increased.
- Mechanism Boron accumulation decreased photosynthetic pigments.
- Association Leaf photosystem II activity tended to decrease as boron toxicity increased.
- Association Maximum photochemical efficiency tended to decrease as boron toxicity increased.
- Association PIABS decreased with increasing boron toxicity.
- Intervention effect Boron toxicity changed energy allocation parameters of the PSII reaction center.
- Intervention effect Boron toxicity reduced light energy utilization capacity.
- Intervention effect Boron toxicity reduced energy used for electron transfer.
- Intervention effect Boron toxicity increased thermal dissipation.
- Intervention effect Boron toxicity decreased catalase activity.
- Intervention effect Boron toxicity increased peroxidase activity.
- Intervention effect Boron toxicity increased malondialdehyde accumulation.
- Recommendation The authors propose sugar beet as a phytoremediation tool in high boron areas.
