Simple Summary Abiotic and biotic stresses are a major challenge for agricultural
production. To deal with stressed conditions, many techniques, including the use of …

Emergence of trace elements at potentially toxic concentrations in the environment has
become a global issue in recent times. Owing to the rapid population growth, unregulated …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is one of the major limitations that inhibit plant growth and
development in acidic soils. In acidic soils (pH< 5.0), phototoxic-aluminum (Al3+) rapidly …

Silicon (Si) is the most copious element of existence in the lithosphere but still it has not
been added into the essential element list. The imperative role of Si in triggering growth and …

The role of amorphous silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) in enhancing growth and yield of
cucumber under water deficit and salinity stresses was assessed. A field experiment under …

Abiotic stresses, including drought, salinity, extreme temperature, and pollutants, are the
main cause of crop losses worldwide. Novel climate-adapted crops and stress tolerance …

Silicon (Si) is one of the most abundant elements on earth. Although not considered
essential for the growth and development of higher plants, it is nonetheless known to …

Application of silicon (Si) could greatly boost rice yield and mitigate abiotic stress, especially
drought. A field experiment was conducted during 2015 at the research farm of Hong Duc …

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 …
