Boron (B) is one of the essential nutrients for plant growth and reproduction. Transcriptome analyses have identified genes regulated by B deficiency, but their function mostly remains elusive. To identify the functions of B deficiency-inducible genes, T-DNA insertion mutants of 10 B deficiency-induced genes were obtained, and their growth properties in response to B conditions were examined. Among the lines examined, mutants of the transcription factor WRKY6 showed growth defect compared with…

Transcriptional Profiling Reveals Adaptive Responses to Boron Defi ciency Stress in Arabidopsis
TLDR
An Arabidopsis whole genome Affymetrix GeneChip was used to evaluate global gene expression alterations in response to short- and long-term B deficiency stress, and genes linked to jasmonic acid showed the most prominent response under B deficiency.
Function of Malus prunifolia WRKY6 transcription factor in response to different stresses
TLDR
Compared with the untransformed wild type plants, MpWRKY6a-overexpressing Arabidopsis plants were moresensitive to methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and less sensitive to methyl viologen and abscisic acid (ABA), which suggests its role in responses to oxidative stress and MeJA or ABA signaling.
Possible involvement of ploidy in tolerance to boron deficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana
TLDR
Independently isolated autotetraploid A. thaliana lines which were obtained from the ABRC stock center were also tolerant to boron deficiency, showing that autotenoidization generally improves tolerance to bOron deficiency.
Overexpression of TaWRKY146 Increases Drought Tolerance through Inducing Stomatal Closure in Arabidopsis thaliana
TLDR
Overexpression of TaWRKY146 in Arabidopsis was shown to enhance drought tolerance by the induction of stomatal closure that reduced the transpiration rate, and provide a firm foundation for further identification of WRKY transcription factors with important functions in wheat.
Boron deficiency and transcript level changes.
Identifying the Genes Regulated by AtWRKY6 Using Comparative Transcript and Proteomic Analysis under Phosphorus Deficiency
TLDR
Two dimension difference gel electrophoresis results provide important information concerning the AtWRKY6 regulation network and reveal potential vital target genes of AtWR KY6 under low phosphorus stress.
Boron deficiency results in early repression of a cytokinin receptor gene and abnormal cell differentiation in the apical root meristem of Arabidopsis thaliana.
Transcriptome analysis reveals the molecular mechanism of boron deficiency tolerance in leaves of boron-efficient Beta vulgaris seedlings.
A WRKY Transcription Factor Regulates Fe Translocation under Fe Deficiency1[OPEN]
TLDR
It is demonstrated that WRKY46 plays an important role in the control of root-to-shoot Fe translocation under Fe deficiency condition via direct regulation of VITL1 transcript levels.
SHB1/HY1 Alleviates Excess Boron Stress by Increasing BOR4 Expression Level and Maintaining Boron Homeostasis in Arabidopsis Roots
TLDR
It is revealed that HO1 acts via its catalytic by-products to promote tolerance of excessive boron by up-regulating the transcription of the BOR4 gene and therefore promoting the exclusion of excessiveboron in root cells.

The Arabidopsis Major Intrinsic Protein NIP5;1 Is Essential for Efficient Boron Uptake and Plant Development under Boron Limitation
TLDR
A transcriptome analysis identified NIP5;1 as a major plasma membrane boric acid channel crucial for the B uptake required for plant growth and development under B limitation.
Targets of AtWRKY6 regulation during plant senescence and pathogen defense.
TLDR
WRKY6 was found to suppress its own promoter activity as well as that of a closely related WRKY family member, indicating negative autoregulation, and the SIRK gene promoter was specifically activated by WRKY6 in vivo, functioning very likely through direct W-box interactions.
Knock-out of Arabidopsis metal transporter gene IRT1 results in iron deficiency accompanied by cell differentiation defects
TLDR
Data support the conclusion that IRT1 is an essential metal transporter required for proper development and regulation of iron and zinc homeostasis in Arabidopsis.
The metal ion transporter IRT1 is necessary for iron homeostasis and efficient photosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that, although the products of the two genes are closely related, only AtIRT1 is required for iron homeostasis under physiological conditions.
Identification of novel Arabidopsis thaliana genes which are induced by high levels of boron
TLDR
Findings represent the first identification of high B-induced genes in Arabidopsis thaliana and suggest that common pathways operate during these responses to Boron.
IRT1, an Arabidopsis Transporter Essential for Iron Uptake from the Soil and for Plant Growth Article, publication date, and citation information can be found at www.plantcell.org/cgi/doi/10.1105/tpc.001388.
TLDR
Genetic evidence is presented that IRT1 is essential for the uptake of iron from the soil, and it is shown that I RT1 is expressed in the external cell layers of the root, specifically in response to iron starvation.
Physiological response of plants to low boron
TLDR
This review focuses on physiological responses in higher plants to B deficiency at the whole plant and organ level, and proposes and discusses key processes in reproductive development which may be impaired under B deficiency.
Root Growth Inhibition in Boron-Deficient or Aluminum-Stressed Squash May Be a Result of Impaired Ascorbate Metabolism
TLDR
Findings show that root growth inhibition resulting from either boron deficiency or aluminum toxicity may be a consequence of disrupted ascorbate metabolism, and this is the first report of a correlation between borons nutrition, ascorBate concentration in root apices, and growth.
Selenate-resistant mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana identify Sultr1;2, a sulfate transporter required for efficient transport of sulfate into roots.
TLDR
The results indicate that Sultr1;2 is primarily involved in importing sulfate from the environment into the root, and accumulation of transcripts increases during sulfate deprivation.
Boron deficiency-induced impairments of cellular functions in plants
TLDR
Evidence shows that the levels of ascorbic acid, non-protein SH-compounds and glutathione reductase, the major defence systems of cells against toxic O2 species, are reduced in response to B deficiency, and increasing evidence that B is involved in protection of nitrogenase activity against O2 damage.
