Alleviating excess boron stress in tomato calli by applying benzoic acid to various biochemical strategies.

Benzoic acid (BA) represents vital roles in plant activity and response to diverse unfavorable conditions. However, its participation in mitigating excess boron (EB) stress in plants is elusive. Herein, we have examined the impacts of BA (1 μM) in controlling boron (B) uptake in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.
