Abstract excerpt
Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient critical for plant growth and reproductive development, primarily through its role in the cell wall. Calcium (Ca2+) similarly stabilizes cell wall architecture by forming cross-links with de-esterified pectin. In Arabidopsis thaliana, B deficiency rapidly induces JASMO0NATE RESISTANT 1 (JAR1) and jasmonic acid (JA) accumulation, which negatively regulates growth. However,...
