Drought and salinity are the main abiotic stresses limiting crop yield and quality worldwide.
Improving food production in drought-and salt-prone areas is the key to meet the increasing …

Drought is one of the major constraints for sustainable crop production worldwide, especially
in arid and semiarid regions. The global warming and climate change scenario has …

Predicted changes in climate, with more severe droughts and more extreme weather
variability, are gaining considerable attention from stakeholders because of the already …

Plants confront several environmental stresses that are crucial in defining plant productivity.
Among these environmental stresses, drought stress is recognized as the foremost abiotic …

Soil salinity and drought are major abiotic factors that limit crop growth and productivity
worldwide. Indeed, soil salinity and drought disrupt the cellular ionic and osmotic balance …

Abstract Purpose Silicon (Si) is well-thought-out as a “multi-talented” quasi-essential facet
due to its advantageous appearance in improving plant physiology, mostly under stressful …

Silicon (Si), the second most abundant element in Earth's crust, exerts beneficial effects on
the growth and productivity of a variety of plant species under various environmental …

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 …

Silicon (Si), the second most predominant element in the earth crust consists of numerous
benefits to plant. Beneficial effect of Si has been apparently visible under both abiotic and …

Although deemed a “non-essential” mineral nutrient, silicon (Si) is clearly beneficial to plant
growth and development, particularly under stress conditions, including salinity and drought …
