| Abstract |
Boron (B) deficiency is an agricultural problem that causes significant losses of crop yield in many areas of the world. However, systematic analysis of BOR family genes for B transport in rapeseed is still lacking. We aimed to identify and characterize BOR transporters in Brassica napus and the potential role of these transporters in B homeostasis in response to B deficiency. Here, we identified 20 BOR transporters from the Brassica napus genome, which were classified into six distinct groups that represent clear orthologous relationships to their family members in Arabidopsis. qRT-PCR revealed distinct expression profiles for BnBORs in different tissues and in response to external B levels. The B-efficient cultivar QY10 accumulated more B in shoots than the B-inefficient cultivar W10, and overexpression of BnaBOR1;1c could alleviate shoot B-deficiency symptoms in W10 by distributing more B from roots to shoots. Additionally, BnBOR1;1c expression was up-regulated by B deficiency, and the induction of BnBOR1;1c was more intense in QY10. Moreover, two conserved InDels were found in the promoter regions of BnBOR1;1c within different B-efficient genotypes. Overall, the molecular characterization of the BnBOR genes of two B-efficient cultivars and their responses to B deficiency highlights the diversity of the family members in B. napus, and BnaC4.BOR1;1c has potential as a candidate gene for improving B nutrition. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 September 2018.
All research outputs
#18,649,291
of 23,103,436 outputs
Outputs from BMC Plant Biology
#2,110
of 3,290 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#258,957
of 337,432 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Plant Biology
#46
of 79 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,103,436 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,290 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 337,432 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 79 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
