A novel stepwise and regioselective nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reaction of halogenated boron dipyrrins (BODIPYs) with pyrroles has been developed under mild conditions with no catalyst needed and shown to be diversity oriented. The resultant pyrrole-substituted BODIPYs are interesting red

Understanding of the molecular mechanisms of boron (B) transport has been greatly advanced in the last decade. BOR1, the first B transporter in living systems, was identified by forward genetics using Arabidopsis mutants. Genes similar to BOR1 have been reported

Two-dimensional (2D) atomic layers derived from bulk layered materials are very interesting from both scientific and application viewpoints, as evidenced from the story of graphene. Atomic layers of several such materials such as hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and dichalcogenides are
Environmental constraints severely restrict crop yields in most production environments, and expanding the use of variation will underpin future progress in breeding. In semi-arid environments boron toxicity constrains productivity, and genetic improvement is the only effective strategy for addressing the
