By Vera-Maldonado P, Aquea F, Reyes-Díaz M, Cárcamo-Fincheira3 P, Soto-Cerda B, Nunes-Nesi A and Inostroza-Blancheteau C (2024). Front. Plant Sci. 15:1332459. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2024.1332459
Text Correction
Due to a production error, some text remained from an earlier version of the manuscript.
A correction has been made to the section Abstract, Paragraph Number One. The sentence:
“In this review, we discuss the mechanisms of B uptake, absorption, and accumulation and its interactions with other elements, and how it contributes to the adaptation of plants to different environmental conditions.”
has been replaced with the correct:
“In this review, we discuss the mechanisms of B uptake, translocation, and accumulation and its interactions with other elements, and how it contributes to the adaptation of plants to different environmental conditions.”
A correction has been made to the section Introduction, Paragraph Number One. The sentence:
“Boron is considered the most mobile, and often one of the most deficient, microelements in soils…”
has been replaced with the correct:
“Boron is considered as the most mobile, and often one of the most deficient, microelements in soils…”
A correction has been made to the section Introduction, Paragraph Number Two. The sentence:
“Boron is a microelement and its concentration in dried leaf tissue varies from 10 to 75 mg kg-1…”
has been replaced with the correct:
“Boron is a microelement and its concentration in dried leaf tissue varies depending on species and genotypes…”
A correction has been made to the section Interaction of B and macroelements, subsection Boron interaction with potassium, Paragraph Number One. The sentence:
“Nonetheless, little research has been carried out on the interaction between B x K in plants.”
has been replaced with the correct:
“Nonetheless, little research has been carried out on the interaction between B and K in plants.”
A correction has been made to the section Interaction of B and macroelements, subsection Boron interaction with potassium, Paragraph Number Two. The sentences:
“Furthermore, the effect of salicylic acid on the amelioration of B toxicity was evaluated (Nawaz et al., 2020), indicating that excess B significantly decreases K content in shoots. Nevertheless, these authors also found an increase in K concentration in roots. It is worth mentioning that B excess can coexist with other abiotic stresses, e.g. salt and drought, conditions found mainly in arid and semiarid conditions.”
have been removed.
A correction has been made to the section Interaction of B and macroelements, subsection Boron interaction with calcium, Paragraph Number Three. The sentence:
“These results agree with those proposed by Gonzaílez-Fontes et al. (2014) where shortterm
B deficiency affects cytosolic Ca2+ levels, and in roots, upregulates the expression of genes from the MYB protein family involved in Ca2+ signaling and represses genes of the bZIP protein family with roles as channels/transporters, sensor relays and responders that act as intermediaries in a transduction pathway triggered by B deficiency, with important consequences in plant development, growth, flower maturation and stress.”
has been replaced with the correct:
““On the other hand, Gonzáles-Fontes et al. (2014) reported that at short-term, B deficiency affects cytosolic Ca2+ levels, and in roots, upregulates the expression of genes from the MYB protein family involved in Ca2+ signaling and represses genes of the bZIP protein family with roles as channels/transporters, sensor relays and responders that act as intermediaries in a transduction pathway triggered by B deficiency, with important consequences in plant development, growth, flower maturation and stress.”
A correction has been made to the section Interaction of B and microelements, immediately following subsection Boron interaction with manganese, creating subsection Boron interaction with iron. The following lines:
“Boron interaction with iron
It has been suggested that B promotes the absorption and long-distance transport of Fe in plants (Alvarez-Tinaut, 1980). In tomato growing hydroponically, B levels influence Fe absorption and translocation paralleling the dry matter production. Fe absorption varied with B supply in the same way and in a similar pattern to growth under the same B levels (Alvarez-Tinaut, 1980). This points to an indirect influence of B on Fe absorption, through increasing growth and hence Fe (and other nutrients too) demands. Another interaction between B and Fe has been reported in the reallocation of apoplastic Fe in root, an essential Fe storage pool in plants. It is known that B can affect the dimerization of pectin rhamnogalacturonan-II (O’Neill et al., 2004). Peng et al. (2021) reported that a decreased the abundance of the rhamnogalacturonan-II dimer compromised the reallocation of Fe from roots to shoots and severely impaired root growth. This information suggest that B can regulate the chelation of Fe by the cell wall, by its role in the cell wall biosynthesis and thus apoplastic Fe reallocation.”
were added to this new subsection.
A correction has been made to the section Non-functional elements, which has been renamed Beneficial elements and toxic elements.
A correction has been made to the section Beneficial elements and toxic elements (previously Non-functional elements) subsection Boron interaction with silicon, Paragraph Number One. The sentence:
“In fact, B can be transported through the multifunctional HvNIP2;1 transporter (homolog of
OsLsi1) in barley and rice plants (Schnurbusch et al., 2010; Mitani-Ueno et al., 2011) (Table 2). Genome-wide association mapping supports the idea that HvLsi6 is required for efficient B transport in barley (Jia et al., 2021).”
has been replaced with the correct:
“In fact, B can be transported through the multifunctional HvNIP2;1 transporter in barley and rice plants (Schnurbusch et al., 2010; Mitani-Ueno et al., 2011) (Table 2). HvNIP2;1 transporter is the homolog of OsLsi, an influx Si transporter, suggesting that both elements use the same transporter system in plants. In addition, a genome-wide association mapping supports the idea that HvLsi6 is required for efficient B transport in barley (Jia et al., 2021).”
Error in Table
Due to a production error, there was a mistake in Table 2, Row B-N, Column Response, as published. The sentence:
“The content of B activates or deactivates nitrate transporters”
has been replaced with the correct:
“Boron can regulate positive or negative nitrate transporters”
The corrected Table 2 appears below.
Table 2
Table 2 Molecular interaction of boron with other minerals in different plant species.
The publisher apologizes for this mistake. The original version of this article has been updated.
