Tremendous progress has been made on molecular aspects of plant phosphorus (P)
nutrition, often without heeding information provided by soil scientists, ecophysiologists, and …

Despite seminal papers that stress the significance of silicon (Si) in plant biology and
ecology, most studies focus on manipulations of Si supply and mitigation of stresses. The …

Due to the frequent occurrence of extreme weather and severe environmental pollution, food
security and human survival are at risk. Silicon, a key element in plant nutrition and …

Introduction With climate change, frequent exposure of bioenergy and food crops,
specifically soybean (Glycine max L.), to low-temperature episodes is a major obstacle in …

Cadmium (Cd) pollution is a serious threat to food safety and human health. Minimizing Cd
uptake and enhancing Cd tolerance in plants are vital to improve crop yield and reduce …

We reviewed the potential of silicon (Si)-rich biochars (sichars) as crop amendments for pest
and pathogen control. The main pathosystems that emerged from our systematic literature …

Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust and has numerous
roles in both soils and plants, although it is inaccessible to plants in its native state (insoluble …

Silicon (Si) is a “quasi-essential” element, associated to stresses/limitations alleviation in
crops. However, stressful situations are becoming the norm, due to climate change, human …

Estimating plasticity of leaf silicon (Si) in response to abiotic and biotic factors underpins our
comprehension of plant defences and stress resistance in natural and agroecosystems …

Silicon (Si) is an abundant element in terrestrial ecosystems and makes essential
contributions to agricultural crops, environments, and industries; however, current …
