The effects of silicon (Si) application on plant growth, pigments, photosynthetic parameters,
chlorophyll a (Chl a) fluorescence parameters and nitrogen metabolism were studied in …

Silicon (Si) plays important roles in alleviating heavy metal stress in rice plants. Here we
investigated the physiological response of rice at different growth stages under the silicon …

The effect of silicon (Si) nutrition on low-level cadmium (Cd) toxicity symptoms was
investigated in hydroponically-grown rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L.). Silicon (0.0, 0.2, or 0.6 …

Solanum nigrum L. is considered to be a potential plant for restoring Cd-contaminated soils.
Si could enhance plants tolerance to heavy metal; however, the mechanism of Si-mediated …

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 …

The alleviative effects of silicon (Si) on cadmium (Cd) toxicity were investigated in cucumber
(Cucumis sativus L.) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) grown hydroponically. The …

Silicon was shown to alleviate the negative effects of various biotic and abiotic stresses on
plant growth. Although the positive role of Si on toxic and heavy metal Cd has been already …

Abstract Silicon (Si) and Zinc (Zn) have been frequently used to alleviate cadmium (Cd)
toxicity, which are feasible strategies for crop safety production. However, the mechanisms …

Abstract Purpose Silicon (Si) has inhibitory effects on cadmium (Cd) toxicity in rice, but the
effects of Si-containing materials on the chemical properties of hydroponic media have been …

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 …
