Abstract: Both boron and potassium are the essential elements for growth and development of higher plants, and they play a regulatory role in growth and metabolism of plant root system. In order to understand the metabolism of boron or potassium and interaction of boron and potassium within the root, this review analyzed the metabolic regulation mechanism in plant root system under boron or potassium stress and their interaction, summarized the effects of boron and potassium stress on transport and absorption of boron, assimilation productions’transport and metabolism in root boron. Finally, problems and prospects of researches about enhancing the impact of stress of boron or potassium and their interaction on plant roots were proposed.
