Apical dominance is the suppression of lateral shoots by a robustly growing shoot apex. The mechanism for this apical dominance is generally accepted to be through the polar flow of auxins, most notably indoleacetic acid (IAA), synthesized in the shoot apex and young leaves (Li et al. 2001).Boron deficiency has caused loss of apical dominance in a number of species (Marschner, 1995; Smith 2004), but the direct role of B in apical dominance is less certain. However, it has been shown that B performs a specific role in forming borate-diester bonds in the rhamnogalacturonan II (RGII) region of the pectin network in the primary cell wall (Ishii and Matsunaga, 1996; Kobayashi et al. 1996; O’Neill, et al. 1996) and that when B supply was withheld in pea (Pisum sativum) plants, there was a dramatic decrease in IAA export out of the shoot apex and a decline in IAA concentrations in the shoot and root apices, prior to a decline in elongation of the apex (Li et al. 2001).
