The boron transporter SiBOR1 functions in cell wall integrity, cellular homeostasis, and panicle development in foxtail millet
Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for vascular plant growth.Both B deficiency and toxicity can impair tissue development in diverse plant species, but little is known about the effect of B on reproductive panicle development and grain yield.In this study, a mutant of Setaria italica exhibiting necrotic panicle apices was identified wac 4011 a
