Abstract

We evaluated the effect of boron (B) application on shoot growth and shoot B concentration and uptake by two maize cultivars ('FHY-396' and 'Sonari') on a loam soil irrigated with water of different sodium absorption ratio (SAR) values [control, 5 and 15 (mmolc L-1)1/2]. Plants were harvested after forty days of growth. Shoot dry matter decreased significantly (P 0.05) with B application due to toxicity marked by leaf injury. Toxic effect of B was further aggravated by increasing SAR of irrigation water. In both cultivars concentration and uptake of B was significantly (P 0.05) increased over control with B application and SAR of irrigation water. Shoot Ca concentration decreased with increasing SAR and B application. The phenomena of B toxicity and low Ca marked by reduction in shoot dry matter of plants irrigated with high SAR water could be important in management of brackish water used for irrigating crops on arid and semiarid region soils.

B2O3 nanoparticles alleviate salt stress in maize leaf growth zones by enhancing photosynthesis and maintaining mineral and redox status

Nadia Mohamed El-Shafey, Viktoriya Avramova, Gerrit T. S. Beemster, Shereen Magdy Korany, Hamada AbdElgawad

Summary: Salt stress has a significant negative impact on crop yield, but micronutrient nanoparticles (NPs) can alleviate the growth inhibition caused by salinity. This study found that NPs can reduce the decrease in cell division and expansion, enhance photosynthesis-related parameters, and improve mineral homeostasis. Additionally, NPs can decrease salt-induced oxidative stress by maintaining a better redox status. This research is important for assessing the effect of NPs on maize growth under salt stress conditions.

Silica mitigated calcium mineral scaling in brackish water reverse osmosis

Kai-Ge Lu, Shuanglong Ma, Dangling Hua, Hongen Liu, Chang Li, Jia Song, Haiou Huang, Yuchen Qin

Summary: This study investigated the formation process and mechanisms of combined scaling by silica and Ca-based minerals, and compared the impacts of silica on gypsum and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) scaling in membrane performance. The results showed that the coexistence of silica and Ca-based minerals significantly reduced water flux decline. Silica mediated the alleviation of Ca-based mineral scaling by hindering their aggregation and morphological evolution. The findings provide a mechanistic understanding for the design of scaling-resistant membranes in brackish water desalination.

Leaf Proteomic Analysis in Seedlings of Two Maize Landraces with Different Tolerance to Boron Toxicity

Betty Maribel Mamani-Huarcaya, Maria Teresa Navarro-Gochicoa, Maria Begona Herrera-Rodriguez, Juan Jose Camacho-Cristobal, Carlos Juan Ceacero, Oscar Fernandez Cutire, Agustin Gonzalez-Fontes, Jesus Rexach

Summary: Boron (B) toxicity negatively affects maize yield and quality. Peruvian maize landraces, Sama and Pachia, were characterized based on their tolerance to B toxicity, with Sama being more tolerant. A proteomic analysis revealed differentially accumulated proteins related to various processes including transcription, translation, metabolism, and degradation. Pachia showed greater protein damage and higher expression of proteins related to degradation and transcription under B toxicity, while Sama displayed more stable photosynthesis.

Biogeochemical cycling, tolerance mechanism and phytoremediation strategies of boron in plants: A critical review

Vinod Kumar, Shevita Pandita, Ravdeep Kaur, Ashok Kumar, Renu Bhardwaj

Summary: Boron is a unique plant micronutrient with a small difference between deficiency and toxicity concentrations, which depends on boron speciation and living organisms. Different species have varying mobility and responses to extreme concentrations. Therefore, it is important to study the bioavailability, speciation, biogeochemical cycling, and exposure pathways of boron in the environment. This review discusses the genes involved in boron tolerance mechanisms in different plants and assesses the functions related to boron scarcity and excess. It also evaluates the use of diverse plants in phytoremediation of boron-contaminated sites and the health risks associated with soils containing deficit or surplus boron concentrations. Finally, it summarizes various strategies for the recovery and repair of boron-contaminated soils.

Fouling mechanism and effective cleaning strategies for vacuum membrane distillation in brackish water treatment

Shan Wang, Yongjun You, Xingpeng Wang, Weixiong Huang, Libing Zheng, Fayong Li

Summary: In this study, vacuum membrane distillation was used to treat brackish water, focusing on scaling mechanisms and mitigation strategies. Mineral scaling was identified as the primary fouling mechanism, with calcium and magnesium carbonate being the main scaling components. Cleaning methods using hydrochloric acid and acetic acid demonstrated effective scaling reduction, particularly acetic acid in removing carbonate scaling. These findings provide valuable theoretical guidance for the treatment of brackish water using membrane desalination techniques.

Boron contamination and its risk management in terrestrial and aquatic environmental settings

Shiv Bolan, Hasintha Wijesekara, Dhulmy Amarasiri, Tao Zhang, Peter Ragalyi, Milka Brdar-Jokanovic, Mark Rekasi, Jui-Yen Lin, Lokesh P. Padhye, Haochen Zhao, Liuwei Wang, Joerg Rinklebe, Hailong Wang, Kadambot H.m., M. B. Kirkham, Nanthi Bolan

Summary: Boron is released to terrestrial and aquatic environments through natural and anthropogenic sources. This review provides current knowledge on B contamination, including its sources, impacts, remediation approaches, and regulatory practices. Boron can be naturally found in borosilicate minerals, volcanic eruptions, geothermal and groundwater streams, and marine water, while anthropogenic sources include wastewater, fertilizer, and waste from mining industries. B can be toxic to plant growth and harmful to human health, but can be remediated through various techniques such as immobilization, leaching, and phytoremediation.

Alleviation of boron toxicity in plants: Mechanisms and approaches

Tianwei Hua, Rui Zhang, Hongwen Sun, Chunguang Liu

Summary: This paper summarizes recent advances in mechanisms and approaches for alleviating boron toxicity in plants. Three main mechanisms have been outlined: reducing tissue boron concentration, decreasing cellular active boron, and enhancing physiological tolerance. The alleviative approaches include applying nutrient elements, plant growth regulators, plant growth-promoting microbes, as well as leaching boron out of the topsoil and washing boron off plant leaves. Future studies will focus on more practical approaches for alleviating boron toxicity and a better understanding of related mechanisms.

Effects of peat based substrate combinations on mineral nutrition, growth and yield of tomato

Ibrahim Erdal, Hakan Aktas, Cennet Yaylaci, Sevkiye Armagan Turkan, Gulnur Aydin, Yunus Hor

Summary: The study examined the effects of growth media made of peat and different domestic materials on tomato nutrition, growth, and yield as an alternative to cocopeat in Turkiye. It was found that using vermicompost and its mixtures with peat as growth media resulted in the highest leaf and fruit nutrient concentrations. The highest fruit yields and biomass weights were obtained with solely peat and 1:1 peat + vermicompost medium. Peat-containing growth media, especially peat + vermicompost mixtures, can be used as alternatives to cocopeat in soilless tomato cultivation.
