To gain an insight into the role of lignification and membrane permeability in the root response to boron (B) toxicity, lignification-related enzymes and a number of physiological and oxidative stress parameters were analyzed in two tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cultivars (Kosaco and Josefina) su...
