Boron in plants: deficiency and toxicity.
Boron (B) is an essential nutrient for normal growth of higher plants, and B availability in soil and irrigation water is an important determinant of agricultural production. To date, a primordial function of B is undoubtedly its structural role in the cell wall; however, there is increasing evidence for a possible role of B in other processes such as the maintenance of plasma membrane function...
متن کاملDiffusion and redistribution of boron in nickel silicides
The diffusion and solubility of B implanted in δ-Ni2Si and NiSi layers is studied by SIMS. It is observed that both diffusion and solubility are higher in δ-Ni2Si than NiSi. The redistribution of B during Ni silicidation is also studied. The SIMS profiles show the presence of concentration step in the middle of the final NiSi layer. This profile shape is explained in light of the results obtain...
متن کاملToxicity evaluation of boron nitride nanospheres and water-soluble boron nitride in Caenorhabditis elegans
Boron nitride (BN) nanomaterials have been increasingly explored for potential biological applications. However, their toxicity remains poorly understood. Using Caenorhabditis elegans as a whole-animal model for toxicity analysis of two representative types of BN nanomaterials - BN nanospheres (BNNSs) and highly water-soluble BN nanomaterial (named BN-800-2) - we found that BNNSs overall toxici...
متن کاملMicroarray Analysis of Late Response to Boron Toxicity in Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Leaves
DNA microarrays, being high-density and high-throughput, allow quantitative analyses of thousands of genes and their expression patterns in parallel. In this study, Barley1 GeneChip was used to investigate transcriptome changes associated with boron (B) toxicity in a sensitive barley cultivar (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Hamidiye). Eight-day-old aseptically grown seedlings were subjected to 5 or 10 ...
متن کاملBoron Sheets and Boron Nanotubes
Based on an ab initio study, we present a structure model for a broad boron sheet, which is the precursor of boron nanotubes. Furthermore we could show that, in contrast to the armchair types, zigzag boron nanotubes have no surface tension (strain energy). As result, we predict that boron nanotubes will exhibit a chirality dependent stability, something that is unique among all nanotubular mate...
