Variability in Physiological Traits Reveals Boron Toxicity Tolerance in Aegilops Species
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Boron (B) is an important micronutrient required for the normal growth and development of plants. However, its excess in the soil causes severe damage to plant tissues, which affects the final yield. Wheat, one of the main staple crops, has been reported

Foliar Magnesium supply increases the abundance of RuBisCO of Mg-deficient maize plants
Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2019 Magnesium is a vital macronutrient for plants and is involved in a series of essential physiological processes, e.g., carbohydrate partitioning and photosynthesis. The latter is strictly Mg-dependent, as Mg is the central atom of chlorophyll, and is also

Effects of selenium biofortification on crop nutritional quality [PDF]
, 2015 Selenium (Se) at very low doses has crucial functions in humans and animals. Since plants represent the main dietary source of this element, Se-containing crops may be used as a means to deliver Se to consumers (biofortification). Several strategies have
