Silicon (Si) is one of the essential and important elements that plays a vital role in the growth
and productivity of crop plants by improving their nutritional status. The exogenous …

Micronutrient silicon (Si) is receiving increasing attention in agriculture for its benefits to
plant growth and stress tolerance. Plants have developed a highly efficient Si-transport …

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

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 …

Sustainable agricultural production is critically antagonistic by fluctuating unfavorable
environmental conditions. The introduction of mineral elements emerged as the most …

Silicon (Si), the quasi-essential element occurs as the second most abundant element in the
earth's crust. Biological importance of Si in plant kingdom has become inevitable particularly …

Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element present on the lithosphere and a quasi-
essential element for plants' cellular and developmental processes. Si is associated with …

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 …

Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in soil, where its availability to plants can
exhilarate to 10% of total dry weight of the plant. Si accumulation/transport occurs in the …

Although silicon (Si) is ubiquitous in soil and plant, evidence is still lacking that Si is
essential for higher plants. However, it has been well documented that Si is beneficial for …
