“…Similar results have been reported elsewhere for apples (Wojcik, 2006a) as well as for other crops (Yunsheng et al, 2003;Rajeswara and Rajput, 2011). Contrary to our findings, there are reports suggesting a decrease of plant weight under B excess conditions (Sotiropoulos et al, 2002;Soylemezoglu et al, 2009). However, the doses of B used in the experiments reported in those works were much higher than ours.…”

Two year-old apple plants (Malus domestica cv. Red Chief Delicious) were grown in an acidic and limed soil, and fertilized with B (0, 1, 3 and 5 mg kg -1 soil). Fresh matter weight of plants was positively correlated with the applied B only in acidic soil. The number of nods, plant height, stem diameter, and shoot length were not particularly affected by either B additions or liming. The length of internodes of the plants grown in limed soil showed a positive correlation with the amount of added B, but the opposite effects were observed in the acidic soil. Boron and K concentration in leaves showed a positive correlation with added B in both soils. Leaf N and Fe concentrations were negatively affected by B additions in soils, while leaf Mn and Zn concentrations were also affected by added B and soil pH, reflecting thus their soil mobility. Chlorophyll content in leaves was reduced at high B treatments, only in plants grown in the acidic soil. Our results show that added B even in our high B-content acidic soil did not cause any detrimental effects on apple plants, and that liming seemed to buffer trace metal excesses, characteristic of any acidic soil.

“…In the acidic soil, however, where trace metal availability cannot be easily suppressed, B additions, having improved agronomic and thus growth conditions, led to the "side-effect" of a further enhancement of Fe uptake. Various works report similar trends (Sotiropoulos et al, 2002;Esringu et al, 2011).…”

“…Decline in biomass yield can be attributed to decrease in assimilates under limited water and nutrient supply to the photosynthetic organs in the presence of excessive trace elements. The negative impacts of high B on plant growth have also been reported by (Alpaslan and Gunes, 2001) and (Sotiropoulos et al, 2002). Excessive B negatively affects a number of processes in vascular plants such as chlorophyll contents of leaf, lignin and suberin level and root cell division (Reid, 2007).…”

To cite this paper: Aftab, M., M.A.U.L. Haq, J. Akhtar and E.A. Waraich, 2015. Salinity and boron tolerance in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) varieties: A short-term hydroponic study. AbstractHigh salinity in association with boron toxicity is becoming very adverse for crop production in arid to semi arid areas throughout the world. In order to investigate the effect of salinity in combination with boron toxicity on six cotton varieties, a hydroponic study was conducted in the rain protected wire house using ½ strength Hoagland's nutrient solution as a growth medium. One week after transplantation, different levels of salinity i.e. 70 and 140 mM were developed with NaCl. The concentration of boron (5 and 10 mM) was created using boric acid (H 3 BO 3 ). The plants were harvested after four weeks of salinity and boron toxicity development. The result indicated that the chlorophyll contents in variety FH-114 were less affected against combined stress condition because it accmulated less Na + and boron but acquired more K + which result into batter growth as compared to other varieties whereas NIAB-846 was found very sensitive against combined stress. The trend regarding the varietal behaviour with salinity and boron stress was FH-114 ˃ NIAB-777 ˃ IUB-222 ˃ SG1-AA ˃ FH-113 ˃ NIAB-846 on the basis of this study; the variety FH-114 can be grown in slinity and boron stress conditions because it has potential to regulate growth by regulating Na + /K + uptake.

“…Changes in the cytoplasm were related to changes in the organelles, invaginations of the plasma membrane (Dekov et al, 2000) and swelling of mitochondrial cristae (Sam et al, 2003(Sam et al, /2004. The effects of excess B on foliar structure have also been studied in citrus (Mandarin) (Papadakis et al, 2004a, b) and kiwi plants (Sotiropoulos et al, 2002). Damage to chloroplast morphology, alteration of the membrane systems, changes in grana stacking and increases of the plastoglobuli due to B excess were observed (Papadakis et al, 2004a, b).…”

“…Nevertheless, in peach, kiwi, tangerine (Clementina) and orange (Navelina) plants, a reduction in the thickness of the crosssections of the leaf was observed due to the reduction in the thickness of the spongy parenchyma, whose cells showed a disarranged and shrunken appearance, and to the damage in palisade parenchyma and disorganization of mesophyll cells, accompanied by large conspicuous intercellular spaces (Sotiropoulos et al, 2002;Papadakis et al, 2004a, b). The transmission electron microscopy images of amylacea did not reveal remarkable changes in cell structure ( Figure 2F).…”

Maize is widely cultivated throughout the world, and more maize is produced each year than any other grain. Studies on the response of maize to salinity have typically focused on physiological aspects, but few studies have addressed the effects of salinity on the anatomical and ultrastructural characteristics of different plant organs. We analyzed the cell structure and changes in tissue organization in young leaves of Zea mays L. amylacea as a consequence of high salt and boron (B) levels. Plants were treated in nutrient solutions for 20 days with concentrations of 100 mM NaCl (Low salinity, L) or 430 mM NaCl (High salinity, H) in the case of saline treatments or with an excess of B supplied as boric acid to obtain 20 mg (334 µM) or 40 mg (668 µM) B kg -1 . The application of B under no salt and low salinity conditions did not result in ultrastructure changes in mesophyll cells (MC) or bundle sheath cells (BSC). The high salinity conditions the amylacea leaf cells showed some alterations in MC chloroplasts, which appeared swollen and rounded. The BSC chloroplasts lost their perpendicular disposition to the cell wall. Moreover, the absolute absence of plastoglobuli could indicate a greater resistance to oxidative damage.
