Silicon (Si) plays an important role in mitigating adverse effects of various biotic and abiotic
stresses including drought. Polyhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of …

Micronutrient silicon (Si) is receiving increasing attention in agriculture for its benefits to
plant growth and stress tolerance. Plants have developed a highly efficient Si-transport …

Drought is one of the major stress factors reducing cereal production worldwide. There is
ample evidence that the mineral nutrient status of plants plays a critical role in increasing …

Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in soil, where its availability to plants can
exhilarate to 10% of total dry weight of the plant. Si accumulation/transport occurs in the …

Silicon (Si) plays a pivotal role in the nutritional status of a wide variety of monocot and dicot
plant species and helps them, whether directly or indirectly, counteract abiotic and/or biotic …

It has been long recognized that silicon (Si) plays important roles in plant productivity by
improving mineral nutrition deficiencies. Despite the fact that Si is considered as 'quasi …

Silicon can improve drought tolerance of plants, but the mechanism still remains unclear.
Previous studies have mainly concentrated on silicon-accumulating plants, whereas less …

Salinity decreases the yield and quality of crops. Silicon (Si) has been widely reported to
have beneficial effects on plant growth and development under salt stress. However, the …

Although silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element both on the surface of the Earth's
crust and in soils, it has not yet been listed among the essential elements for higher plants …

Several studies have revealed that both sulfur (S) and silicon (Si) nutrition play a pivotal role
in alleviating drought stress tolerance in plants. Additionally, Si application has also been …
