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 …

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of silicon (Si) and nano-silicon
(NSi) on growth, yield, ions content, and antioxidant defense systems, including transcript …

Salinity is a key worldwide ecological restriction to sustainable crop production and food
security. Various methods were used for inducing salinity tolerance including …

In order to investigate the role of Si in alleviating the deleterious effects of salinity on tomato
plant growth, the tomato cultivar Moneymaker was grown with 0 or 80mM NaCl combined …

Saline water has been proposed as a solution to partially cover plant water demands due to
scarcity of irrigation water in hot arid areas. Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) plants …

Silicon (Si) has widely been reported to increase plant tolerance and/or resistance to salt
(salinity) stress, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This chapter …

Water deficit stress can negatively affect oil quality, crop yields and soil infertility. Thus, we
investigated the effects of rice-straw biochar, foliar silicon and their combination on quality …

BACKGROUND Using water with high salinity for plant fertigation may have detrimental
effects on plant development and total yield and on the quality of the crop produced. As a …

Soil-less cultivation of horticultural crops represents a fairly recent innovation to traditional
agriculture which has several advantages including higher water-use efficiency. When …

We investigated the effect of exogenously applied silicon (Si) on the growth and
physiological attributes of wheat grown under sodium chloride salinity stress in two …
