A genetic linkage map consisting of 211 molecular markers has been generated using a doubled-haploid population derived from a cross between the Australian barley variety Clipper and the Algerian landrace Sahara 3771. The map was used in subsequent trait mapping studies to locate the genes conferring boron tolerance and cereal cyst nematode resistance from Sahara 3371 and to map several plant type and developmental genes. Closely linked markers to the trait loci have been identified and are now being widely implemented in Australian breeding programs.

Tolerance to high boron concentration in Brassica rapa was primarily due to low net boron uptake by the roots. However, in the two tolerant genotypes, 39–43% of boron uptake was retained in the tap roots, which limited boron accumulation in the leaves, and also contributed to boron tolerance. In the sensitive genotype, 99% of the increase in boron uptake caused by high soil boron accumulated in the leaves, particularly in the leaf margins. Despite higher transpiration rates, lower net boron uptake occurred in the tolerant genotypes. This result cannot be explained by passive boron uptake alone. Active boron efflux was probably responsible for differences in net boron uptake among tolerant and sensitive genotypes. Boron concentration was much lower in the cell walls than in the cell sap of leaves, indicating that storage of boron in the cell walls was not a tolerance mechanism. Despite high boron concentrations in the leaf symplasm, rates of photosynthesis, transpiration and growth were almost unaffected in the tolerant genotypes. The results demonstrate that boron tolerance in Brassica rapa involves boron exclusion at the root level, boron partitioning away from leaves and, as boron accumulates in leaves despite the first two mechanisms, boron tolerance of the leaf tissue itself.

Boron (B) is toxic to living cells at levels above a certain threshold. We isolated several B-tolerant bacterial strains from soil samples and studied them for possible mechanisms of B tolerance. 16S rRNA gene sequencing and comparative phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the isolates belong to the following 6 genera: Arthrobacter , Rhodococcus , Lysinibacillus , Algoriphagus , Gracilibacillus , and Bacillus . These isolates exhibited B-tolerance levels of 80, 100, 150, 300, 450, and 450 mmol/L, respectively, whilst maintaining a significantly lower intracellular B concentration than in the medium. Statistical analysis showed a negative correlation between the protoplasmic B concentration and the degree of tolerance to a high external B concentration. The kinetic assays suggest that the high B efflux and (or) exclusion are the tolerance mechanisms against a high external B concentration in the isolated bacteria.
