[This corrects the article DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2024.1332459.].


Text Correction
Due to a production error, some text remained from an earlier version of the manuscript.
A correction has been made to the section Abstract, Paragraph Number One.The sentence: "In this review, we discuss the mechanisms of B uptake, absorption, and accumulation and its interactions with other elements, and how it contributes to the adaptation of plants to different environmental conditions."has been replaced with the correct: "In this review, we discuss the mechanisms of B uptake, translocation, and accumulation and its interactions with other elements, and how it contributes to the adaptation of plants to different environmental conditions." A correction has been made to the section Introduction, Paragraph Number One.The sentence: "Boron is considered the most mobile, and often one of the most deficient, microelements in soils…" has been replaced with the correct: "Boron is considered as the most mobile, and often one of the most deficient, microelements in soils…" A correction has been made to the section Introduction, Paragraph Number Two.The sentence: "Boron is a microelement and its concentration in dried leaf tissue varies from 10 to 75 mg kg-1…" has been replaced with the correct: "Boron is a microelement and its concentration in dried leaf tissue varies depending on species and genotypes…" A correction has been made to the section Interaction of B and macroelements, subsection Boron interaction with potassium, Paragraph Number One.The sentence: "Nonetheless, little research has been carried out on the interaction between B x K in plants." has been replaced with the correct: "Nonetheless, little research has been carried out on the interaction between B and K in plants." A correction has been made to the section Interaction of B and macroelements, subsection Boron interaction with potassium, Paragraph Number Two.The sentences: "Furthermore, the effect of salicylic acid on the amelioration of B toxicity was evaluated (Nawaz et al., 2020), indicating that excess B significantly decreases K content in shoots.Nevertheless, these authors also found an increase in K concentration in roots.It is worth mentioning that B excess can coexist with other abiotic stresses, e.g.salt and drought, conditions found mainly in arid and semiarid conditions."have been removed.
A correction has been made to the section Interaction of B and macroelements, subsection Boron interaction with calcium, Paragraph Number Three.The sentence: "These results agree with those proposed by Gonzaıĺez-Fontes et al. (2014) where shortterm B deficiency affects cytosolic Ca2+ levels, and in roots, upregulates the expression of genes from the MYB protein family involved in Ca2+ signaling and represses genes of the bZIP protein family with roles as channels/transporters, sensor relays and responders that act as intermediaries in a transduction pathway triggered by B deficiency, with important consequences in plant development, growth, flower maturation and stress."has been replaced with the correct: ""On the other hand, Gonzaĺes-Fontes et al. ( 2014) reported that at short-term, B deficiency affects cytosolic Ca2+ levels, and in roots, upregulates the expression of genes from the MYB protein family involved in Ca2+ signaling and represses genes of the bZIP protein family with roles as channels/transporters, sensor relays and responders that act as intermediaries in a transduction pathway triggered by B deficiency, with important consequences in plant development, growth, flower maturation and stress." A correction has been made to the section Interaction of B and microelements, immediately following subsection Boron interaction with manganese, creating subsection Boron interaction with iron.The following lines: "Boron interaction with iron It has been suggested that B promotes the absorption and longdistance transport of Fe in plants ( Alvarez-Tinaut, 1980).In tomato growing hydroponically, B levels influence Fe absorption and translocation paralleling the dry matter production.Fe absorption varied with B supply in the same way and in a similar pattern to growth under the same B levels (Alvarez-Tinaut, 1980).This points to an indirect influence of B on Fe absorption, through increasing growth and hence Fe (and other nutrients too) demands.Another interaction between B and Fe has been reported in the reallocation of apoplastic Fe in root, an essential Fe storage pool in plants.It is known that B can affect the dimerization of pectin rhamnogalacturonan-II (O'Neill et al., 2004).Peng et al. (2021) reported that a decreased the abundance of the rhamnogalacturonan-II dimer compromised the reallocation of Fe from roots to shoots and severely impaired root growth.This information suggest that B can regulate the chelation of Fe by the cell wall, by its role in the cell wall biosynthesis and thus apoplastic Fe reallocation." were added to this new subsection.
A correction has been made to the section Non-functional elements, which has been renamed Beneficial elements and toxic elements.
A correction has been made to the section Beneficial elements and toxic elements (previously Non-functional elements) subsection Boron interaction with silicon, Paragraph Number One.The sentence: "In fact, B can be transported through the multifunctional HvNIP2;1 transporter (homolog of OsLsi1) in barley and rice plants (Schnurbusch et al., 2010;Mitani-Ueno et al., 2011) (Table 2).Genome-wide association mapping supports the idea that HvLsi6 is required for efficient B transport in barley (Jia et al., 2021)."has been replaced with the correct: "In fact, B can be transported through the multifunctional HvNIP2;1 transporter in barley and rice plants (Schnurbusch et al., 2010;Mitani-Ueno et al., 2011) (Table 2).HvNIP2;1 transporter is the homolog of OsLsi, an influx Si transporter, suggesting that both elements use the same transporter system in plants.In addition, a genome-wide association mapping supports the idea that HvLsi6 is required for efficient B transport in barley (Jia et al., 2021)."

Error in Table
Due to a production error, there was a mistake in Table 2, Row B-N, Column Response, as published.The sentence: "The content of B activates or deactivates nitrate transporters" has been replaced with the correct: "Boron can regulate positive or negative nitrate transporters" The corrected Table 2 appears below.
The publisher apologizes for this mistake.The original version of this article has been updated.

TABLE 2
Molecular interaction of boron with other minerals in different plant species.Low B may regulate the expression of CNGC19, ACA and CAX3 Ca 2+ transporter genes and induce an augmented in the cytosolic Ca 2+ , also, it could be attributed to the expression of Ca 2+ transporters, regulating Ca 2+ homeostasis in B deficiency.Gene expression in Citrus grandis roots showed that B appears to alleviate Al toxicity Alleviation of B-induced Al toxicity; Regulation of the ABC transporter Boron inhibits the expression of these Cd transporters, reducing Cd uptake and transport, decreasing Cd accumulation in aboveground and belowground parts of rice plants.
