In this study 28 plant species and soil samples were collected from boron deposit area in Akdağmadeni. Boron is determined in plants and soil samples. Additionally, statistical relations were established between the boron values of plant and soil samples.  </span> <span style="font-size:12px;">Metal pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems. Phytoremediation utilizes plants to uptake contaminants and can potentially be used to remediate metal-contaminated sites. The present study investigates boron uptake  from soil by different organs of </span> <em style="font-size:.9em;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Astragalus pycnocephalus Fischer </span> </em> <span style="font-size:12px;">and </span> <em style="font-size:.9em;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">Verbascum euphraticum L. </span> </em> <span style="font-size:12px;">The concentration of this metal was measured in the roots, shoots, leaves, and the soil. Assay results show that the highest accumulation of  boron was found in the roots. In addition, the determination of a enrichement coefficient and a translocation factor showed that both plant types </span> <em style="font-size:.9em;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"> </span> </em> <span style="font-size:12px;">were suitable for phytoremediation of Boron. </span> </p>}, number={4}, publisher={Gazi University}
