Borax Promotes Fertility of Brassica napus Better Than Other Boron Species at Suboptimal Supply
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Continuous and sufficient boron (B) supply is essential for achieving maximum yield in Brassica napus. Increasing incidences of environmental water limitation are linked to reduced plant B availability and increased B deficiencies.

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Soybean, a nutritionally important protein‐ and oil‐rich legume, is highly sensitive to iron (Fe) deficiency under alkaline conditions, where reduced Fe availability limits growth, yield, and seed quality. Effective biofortification therefore requires increasing seed Fe while reducing phytate that restricts Fe bioavailability.

Bioactive Compounds and Microbial Quality of Stored Fermented Red Beetroots and Red Beetroot Juice
Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences, 2020 The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of long-term cold storage of fermented beetroots and fermented beetroot juice on the content of biologically active compounds and microorganisms. Contents of total phenolics, as well as red and yellow betalains were determined. Total phenolics content in fermented grated beetroot was 920 mg/kg after 7
