Silicon (Si) is not classified as an essential element for plants, but numerous studies have
demonstrated its beneficial effects in a variety of species and environmental conditions …

Ammonium sensitivity is considered a globally stressful condition that affects overall crop
productivity. The major toxic symptom associated with ammonium nutrition is growth …

Globally, crop production has been widely threatened by contamination of arable lands with
heavy metals including Nickel (Ni). Stress-relief molecule melatonin (ME) has been widely …

A greenhouse investigation was performed to examine the influence of salicylic acid (SA; 0,
0.5, and 1 mM), 24-epi-brassinolide (BR; 0, 0.5, and 0.75 μM), and silicon (Si; 0, 6, and 12 …

Soil salinization is the most common abiotic stress limiting agricultural productivity
worldwide. Recent research has suggested that the application of silicon (Si) has beneficial …

Salt stress is known to negatively affect the fundamental processes in plants, reducing their
growth and yield. The role of Silicon (Si) to protect the sorghum and sunflower plants against …

Abstract Nitrate (NO3−) and ammonium (NH4+) are the main nitrogen (N) sources and key
determinants for plant growth and development. In recent decades, NH4+, which is a double …

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 …

Globally, rejuvenation of soil health is a major concern due to the continuous loss of soil
fertility and productivity. Soil degradation decreases crop yields and threatens global food …

Although silicon (Si) is ubiquitous in the earth's crust, its essentiality for growth of higher
plants is still under discussion. By recognising the overwhelming potential of Si in alleviating …
