e0“During the seed development period, dry matter accumulation of seed followed a typical S-shaped curve at the two B treatments, but seed weight accumulated faster in plants supplied with sufficient B than those with low B.”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Boron significantly increased seed yield relative to low boron.
- Intervention effect The seed yield increase was attributed to more seeds per pod and pods per plant.
- Intervention effect Seed dry matter accumulation followed an S-shaped curve at both boron treatments.
- Intervention effect Podwall dry weight rose rapidly early and fell rapidly later under high boron relative to low boron.
- Intervention effect The authors inferred that boron improved early seed dry matter accumulation.
- Intervention effect The authors inferred that boron improved late transport from podwall to seed.
- Intervention effect Boron had no significant effect on oil, erucic acid or glucosinolate contents.
- Intervention effect Boron maintained lower erucic acid and glucosinolate contents during seed development.
- Intervention effect Boron lowered the erucic to oleic acid ratio relative to low boron.
