Differences in cell wall components and allocation of boron to cell walls confer variations in sensitivities of Brassica napus cultivars to boron deficiency

Aims The cell wall is the main binding site of boron (B) in plants, and the differences in B requirements among different plant species are determined by pectic polysaccharide contents in the cell walls. The aim of this research was to illustrate the relationship between cell wall properties and allocation of B to cell wall and the differential sensitivity of Brassica napus cultivars to B deficiency.
