Fruit of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and burrs of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneaum L.) were shown to develop in white siliceous sand which was low in boron. Fruit and seed production and yield did not vary with the boron nutrition given to the medium in which seeds developed.
The results suggest that for the development of their fruits, peanut and subterranean clover translocate boron in their phloem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
