Salinity stress hinders the growth potential and productivity of crop plants by influencing
photosynthesis, disturbing the osmotic and ionic concentrations, producing excessive …

Agricultural land is extensively affected by salinity stress either due to natural phenomena or
by agricultural practices. Saline stress possesses two major threats to crop growth: osmotic …

Salt stress limits plant growth and productivity by severely impacting the fundamental
physiological processes. Silicon (Si) supplementation is considered one of the promising …

Salt stress is a major threat for plant growth worldwide. The regulatory mechanisms of silicon
in alleviating salt stress have been widely studied using physiological, molecular genetics …

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 …

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 …

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

Abiotic stresses, such as salinity, heavy metals and drought, are some of the most
devastating factors hindering sustainable crop production today. Plants use their own …

Food security relies on plant productivity and plant's resilience to climate change driven
environmental stresses. Plants employ diverse adaptive mechanisms of stress-signalling …
