Bibliography: leaves 132-159. Boron efficiency in oilseed rape (Brassica napua L. and B. juncea L.) was investigated in a wide range of genotypes. Using a solution culture screening of 10 day old seedlings, root length best described shoot growth response, and was used to characterise a total of 65 genotypes. Varieties and breeders lines tolerant of B-deficient growing conditions were identified, and the screening process validated through field trials. B responses in plants sampled at the 'green bud' stage indicated that vegetative growth is important in B efficiency. Studies were conducted to investigate the mechanism of B efficiency in oilseed rape. Results suggest no association between B efficiency and the capacity to acidify the root rhizosphere, or an increased translocation of B from root to shoot. Boron retranslocation was also studied as a mechanism of B efficiency.

Hypothesises that 4 mechanisms of boron-tolerance exist: 1. a physical barrier at xylem loading that also, 2., may include an efflux system; 3. enhanced sugar levels in shoot and root and 4, maintaining or increasing root biomass in the upper soil depths where the concentrations of boron are not toxic. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Discipline of Soil and Land Systems, 2004

Boron deficiency or toxicity can reduce yield and quality of vegetables. Seven vegetable crops, varying from low to high boron requirements were grown in field plots at Corvallis in 1987. Leaf-B and yield components of green bean, cucumber, potato, carrot, tomato, broccoli and table beet were examined under conditions of fall or spring soil applied B at a 5 kg/ha rate on two soil types. Soil tests on control plots indicated B levels of .39 mg/kg and .20 mg/kg in the top 23 cm of soil in the silty clay loam and sandy loam soil, respectively. Fall or spring application of B increased soil B levels in the top 23 cm on the silty clay loam soil to .68 mg/kg and .37 mg/kg, and on the sandy loam soil to .81 mg/kg and .42 mg/kg, respectively. Boron application had no effect on yield or yield components except in green beans where spring applied B on the sandy loam reduced percent of premium grade pods (sieve sizes 1-4). Leaf-B levels were not affected in cucumber, carrot, or tomato on either soil. Boron application on both soils had a significant effect on leaf-B levels in bean, broccoli and table beet. Potato leaf-B was significantly affected only on the sandy loam soil. / Graduation date: 1993

Orientador: Carlos Alexandre Costa Crusciol / Banca: Adalton Mazetti Fernandes / Banca: Dirceu Maximino Fernandes / Resumo: Recentemente no Brasil, a deficiência de boro têm sido constatada tanto em regiões tradicionais mas, principalmente, em regiões de expansão da cultura da cana-de-açúcar para solos arenosos e de baixa fertilidade. Relacionado a isso, doenças como estria vermelha (Bactéria - Acidovorax avenae), além de redução qualitativa e quantitativa da produtividade dos canaviais, têm sido observados. Portanto, estudos mais detalhados que revelem com maior clareza as particularidades deste micronutriente para a cultura se fazem necessários. Assim, objetivou-se com o presente trabalho avaliar o efeito da disponibilidade de boro em solução nutritiva sobre o desenvolvimento radicular e da parte aérea e, ... / Abstract: Recently in Brazil, boron deficiency has been verified both in traditional, but mainly in expanding regions of the sugarcane crop to areas with sandy and low fertility soils. Associated with that, diseases like red stripe (Bacteria - Acidovorax avenae), as well as, qualitative and quantitative reduction in the productivity of sugarcane plants, have been observed. Therefore, more detailed studies, in order to further clarify special features of this micronutrient for the crop, become necessary. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of boron availability in nutrient solution, on the root and shoot growth, and also on the nutrient uptake efficiency and concentration in ... / Mestre
