Abstract:
      In this paper, the effects of salinity stress on boron toxicity to plants were reviewed in respect of plant growth, physiological characteristics, and boron uptake and accumulation. The mechanisms involving the regulation of plant transpiration and ion uptake, and the activity of aquaporins were also discussed. Further studies were proposed on the effects of other soil conditions and the effect of excess boron on salinity stress using molecular technique.
