- Intervention effect Silicon did not change root boron concentration in wheat.
- Intervention effect Silicon did not change root boron concentration in sunflower.
- Intervention effect Silicon significantly decreased leaf boron concentration in sunflower.
- Observation Silicon affected excess boron binding capacity of the leaf apoplast differently in wheat and sunflower.
- Observation Wheat retained less boron in leaf cell walls than sunflower.
- Intervention effect Continuous silicon supply was crucial for greater shoot tolerance of wheat to high boron.
- Intervention effect Silicon supply did not significantly extend boron binding sites in sunflower leaves.
