Abstract Background Silicon (Si) is known to have numerous beneficial effects on plants,
alleviating diverse forms of abiotic and biotic stress. Research on this topic has accelerated …

Salinity affects around 20% of all arable land while an even larger area suffers from
recurrent drought. Together these stresses suppress global crop production by as much as …

As sessile organisms, plants are unable to avoid being subjected to environmental stresses
that negatively affect their growth and productivity. Instead, they utilize various mechanisms …

Silicon (Si) is a beneficial macronutrient for plants. The Si supplementation to growth media
mitigates abiotic and biotic stresses by regulating several physiological, biochemical and …

Abiotic and biotic stresses are the major factors limiting plant growth worldwide. Plants
exposed to abiotic and biotic stresses often cause reduction in plant biomass as well as crop …
