The Physiological Impact of Boron
نویسنده
چکیده
Boron is the fifth element in the periodic table of elements and has a number of important functions. The borate minerals have been known for thousands of years and have varied history from the deserts of Tibet to the alchemists of the middle ages. Boron occurs in most foods produced from plants. Since 1989 its nutritional value has been debated. Boron plays several biochemical roles in animals, including humans. However, it may be one of the most overlooked and unique elements and minerals in the periodic table when it comes to beneficial effects on our bodies.

Physiological responses of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) to foliar application of boron and zinc under drought stress conditions
Micronutriens deficiency is prevalent in case of drought stress conditions, so complementary boron and zinc nutrition are important for crops to overcome drought stress. This study evaluated the effect of zinc and boron foliar application on physiological traits of sesame under different irrigation levels. The experiment was conducted as a split plot in a randomized complete block design with t...
متن کاملEffect of different concentrations of iron and boron on growth and physiological properties of Achillea millefolium L.
Plants need essential nutrients for their growth and development. Iron and boron are micronutrients that are needed by plants in very small concentrations. This study was conducted as a pot experiment to investigate the effect of iron and boron on Achillea millefolium in a factorial randomized complete design with three replications. Iron at three levels (0, 5 and 20 μM) and boron at three leve...
متن کاملDosimetry Impact of Boron and Its Carriers Structure at Boron Neutron Capture Therapy of a Brain Tumor; A Sim- ulation Study
Introduction: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a method of cancer treatment and potentially, two borono-L-phenylalanine (BPA) and sodium borocaptate (BSH) are used in BNCT as common boron carriers. Some previous studies have shown that the dose rate is directly related to boron concentration in the tissue. This study aimed to simulate the structure of boron carriers and brain tumor compo...

متن کاملEffect of Zinc and Boron Application on Wheat Mother Plant under Heat Stress on Cell Membrane Integrity of the Produced Seed and Physiological Quality of Seedling
Extended Abstract Introduction: Providing important and effective elements such as zinc and boron- especially in areas where the soil for some reason cannot meet the needs of the plant- will be a good solution to improve seed and seedling quality and nutrition, and community health status. A considerable part of the wheat producing regions in the country are faced with late season haet during ...
