Abstract
Grain set failure, due to boron (B) deficiency-induced sterility of the anthers and pollen, is a cause of yield loss in many wheat growing areas of Asia. This paper illustrates a range of genotypic variation in the response to B that can be found in the wheat germplasm, and offers a solution in selection and breeding for boron efficiency.
