Cadmium (Cd) contamination has resulted in serious reduction of crop yields. Silicon (Si), as
a beneficial element, regulates plant growth to heavy metal toxicity mainly through reducing …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Silicon (Si) is an important plant-derived metabolite that is significantly involved in
maintaining the stability of a plant's metabiological, structural and physiological …

In recent years, nutrient management has gained much attention as a way to mitigate heavy
metal stress. Silicon (Si) promotes plant defense responses against toxic metal stresses. In …
