dear matthieu
it is related to me that info on boron can be found in A.D.M. Glass' book
Plant Nutrition. a chemist in our dept further informs me that boron is
suspected to act similar to/ perhaps replace silicon in its role in
diatoms' shells. apparently there may be some role in the cell formation
of higher plants as well.
hope this helps
