Abstract: To understand current research status of boron, and provide references for the targeted use of boron in fruit production, the authors summarize the absorption, transportation and distribution characteristics of boron in fruit trees. The physiological functions of boron on cell wall structure and intracellular enzyme activity, the relationship between boron and other trace elements, and the effects of boron on fruit quality are also described in detail. There are three forms of absorption and transportation of boron which exists in the form of acid in crops and performs physiological functions by condensing with cis-diol to synthesize ester. Boron has effects on the maintenance of plant cell wall structure and regulation of cell wall enzyme activity, as well as on fruit yield, flavor quality and storage. There is a mutual promotion between boron and phosphorus and nitrogen, while, an antagonistic relationship between boron and calcium.
