e0“Under continuous B supply, as the B concentration in the solution was raised, ear‐leaf B increased linearly in Mutin (r = 0.93) but nonlinearly in Carlos Semu 201 (R2 = 0.75) and reached 29.1 and 28.1 mmol kg–1, respectively, without showing any unequivocal toxicity symptoms for B.”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Association Ear-leaf boron increased linearly as solution boron rose in Mutin.
- Observation Ear-leaf B reached 29.1 mmol kg–1 in Mutin without unequivocal toxicity symptoms.
- Observation Ear-leaf B reached 28.1 mmol kg–1 in Carlos Semu 201 without unequivocal toxicity symptoms.
- Intervention effect Interrupting boron supply curtailed normal ear development, more severely in Mutin.
- Observation Critical ear-leaf B concentration for stover yield was higher in Mutin than Carlos Semu 201 (3.8 versus 1.9 mmol kg–1).
- Observation Critical ear-leaf B concentration for total yield was higher in Mutin than Carlos Semu 201 (14.8 versus 6.0 mmol kg–1).
- Observation Critical ear-leaf B concentration for ear yield yield was higher in Mutin than Carlos Semu 201 (25.3 versus 8.4 mmol kg–1).
- Observation The hybrids differ in B requirement, which exceeds often-cited values.
- Mechanism Higher critical B levels for production indicate a role for B in storage of assimilates.
