Overview
This is a comprehensive review of knowledge of boron in soils, plants and animals, which coincides with a period of significant progress in boron research. It covers mid-1990s advances in the identification of the physical and chemical role of boron in the cell wall, the characterization of the genetic basis for differences in boron accumulation and tolerance to boron excesses and deficiencies, and the identification and characterization of the mechanizations of phloem boron transport. Each of these advances has contributed not only to an understanding of the fundamental behaviour of boron in plants, but also has a direct impact on boron management in agricultural systems. There are 13 review papers written by international scientists. The book should be of interest to scientists and advisers responsible for ensuring that plant growth is not limited by boron deficiency or toxicity, and it may be used as a reference book for students in agriculture, forestry, soil sciences and animal and human health.

Reviews
These are excellent reviews of boron in soils and plants and are well written. The book taken as a whole, brings the reader up-to-date on the current status of knowledge about boron as an essential plant nutrient...... It would make a very good reference text for university plant nutrition courses and should be on the reference shelf of all plant nutrition researchers.' George Hochmuth, University of Florida, Gainsville Each chapter is well referenced, making this book a source-authority on boron in plants and soils. It would make a very good reference text for university plant nutrition courses and should be on the reference shelf of all plant nutrition researchers.' HortScience, 34: 2 (1999)
