Abstract
In non-traditional wheat production areas in Asia such as Bangladesh, Nepal and India, wheat sterility is a common problem, resulting in significant yield losses (Rerkasem, 1996a). Boron deficiency has been suggested as one of the factors contributing to wheat sterility — through its effects on. male (pollen) sterility (Rerkasem et al., 1997). The critical stage of pollen development for B deficiency lies between the premeiotic-interphase and the late tetrad/young microspore (Huang et al., 2000).
