AimsThe cell wall is the main binding site of boron (B) in plants, and the differences in B requirements among different plant species are determined by pectic polysaccharide contents in the cell walls. The aim of this research was to illustrate the relationship between cell wall properties and allocation of B to cell wall and the differential sensitivity ofBrassica napuscultivars to B deficiency.MethodsTwo cultivars with opposite B efficiency were used to analyse the relationship among cell wall pectin contents and glycosyl composition, B uptake and allocation, gene expression and cell wall ultrastructure.ResultsTheBrassica napusB-efficient cultivar Qingyou 10 was more tolerant to B deficiency, exhibiting a higher biomass production, milder B deficiency symptoms and less cell wall thickening compared to theBrassica napusB-inefficient cultivar Westar 10. These differences were attributed to two factors; the first was that Qingyou 10 accumulated more B and distributed significantly higher proportion of it to the cell wall pectins than did Westar 10 under low B supply. Also, the cell walls of Qingyou 10 exhibited relatively less B-binding sites than those of Westar 10, which was indicated by the lower cell wall extraction rates, less pectin and glycosyl residue contents under the B-deficient and B-sufficient conditions. A comparison of theKDOPSgene expression levels in the two conditions suggests that Westar 10 had a higher potential for biosynthesizing B-binding substances than did Qingyou 10, regardless of B levels.ConclusionsThese results suggest that both higher cell wall pectin polysaccharide content, and limited accumulation and allocation of B to the cell walls contribute to the greater sensitivity of Westar 10 to B deficiency. These two physiological aspects may determine the differences in B deficiency tolerance betweenBrassica napuscultivars Qingyou 10 and Westar 10. Comparably, the difference in accumulation and allocation of B to cell wall plays a much more important role than cell wall components to sensitivity difference ofBrassica napuscultivars to B deficiency.
