Cover Story: Although boron (B) requirement for plant growth was demonstrated a century ago, the mechanisms explaining its biological function still need to be further explored. Cell wall stability through borate crosslinking of apiosyl residues of rhamnogalacturonan II (RGII) is demonstrated. However, the plethora of symptoms associated with B deficiency in plants together with the defects observed in animal development when B is absent point to a B function beyond the cell wall. The discovery of glycoproteins and glycolipids as putative B-ligands, as well as other molecules such as ribonucleotides and inositides, open new scenarios in which B would not only act by stabilizing the wall structure but also by keeping the function and dynamics of cell membranes and cell signaling during development.  View this paper
