ABSTRACT
Functions in Plants: A micronutrient associated with carbohydrate chemistry, B is believed to be important in the synthesis of uracil, a base for RNA formation and in cellular activities (division, differentiation, maturation, respiration, growth, etc.). Boron has long been associated with pollen germination and growth. It improves the stability of pollen tubes. It is relatively immobile in plants and is transported primarily in the xylem.
