Silicon (Si) is a beneficial nutrient for crop plants, and is gaining increased attention
because of its involvement in regulation of abiotic stress tolerance. The present study was …

Silicon (Si) application enhanced the tolerance of plants against different environmental
stresses. Therefore, objective of the study revealed that foliar applied Si alleviates the …

Numerous abiotic stressors including heavy metal stresses, specifically cadmium (Cd) stress
in agricultural bio-system hinder the plant adequate growth. The present study was aimed to …

Plants are exposed to various abiotic stressors in agricultural systems, especially cadmium
(Cd) stress, which hinders plant growth and development. The current study was conducted …

Given that cadmium (Cd) uptake by plants is linked to transpiration rate and activity of
antioxidant enzymes and further that silicon (Si) can regulate them, it was hypothesized that …

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic element that poses a great threat to human health, while silicon (Si)
is a beneficial element and has been shown to have a mitigation effect on plants under Cd …

The individual impact of silicon (Si) and nitric oxide (NO, as sodium nitroprusside) on metal
toxicity in various plant species has been well documented; however, their combined action …

Silicon (Si) frequently accumulates in plants tissues, mainly in roots of dicotyledons, such as
cowpea. By contrast, Cadmium (Cd) is a metal that is extremely toxic to plant metabolism …

Humans are facing very serious health threats from food contamination with cadmium (Cd),
and Cd uptake by wheat is amongst the main causes of Cd entrance into the food chain. The …

Minimization of Cd accumulation in wheat is an effective strategy to prevent Cd hazard to
human. This study compared and highlighted the roles of soil and foliar applications of Se …
