The present study explores the potential impact of silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs), in
comparison with their bulk counterpart (silicate), on post-stress recovery performance of …

Silicon (Si) can improve drought tolerance in plants, but the mechanism is still not fully
understood. Previous research has been concentrating on Si's role in leaf water …

The beneficial effects of silicon on plant growth and development under drought have been
widely reported. However, little information is available on the effects of silicon on seed …

In this study, seeds of Hyoscyamus niger were exposed to different concentrations (50–800
μg mL− 1) of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under different levels of drought …

The present study explored the effectiveness of SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) as seed priming
agent (15 mg L–1) to improve drought tolerance in the wheat cultivar HI 1544. Seed …

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and silicon (Si) are known for alleviating
abiotic stresses in crop plants. In this study, Bacillus drentensis and Enterobacter cloacae …

In this study, low pressure non-thermal radiofrequency nitrogen plasma at very low power
has been used to treat the artichoke seeds on the powered cathode for the first time. The …

The rapid increase in the production and application of various types of nanomaterials
increases the possibility of their presence in total environment, which subsequently raises …

Insufficient availability of water is a major global challenge that plants face and that can
cause substantial losses in plant productivity and quality, followed by complete crop failure …

The present study aimed to explore the effects of exogenous gibberellins (GAs) on seed
germination and subsequent seedling growth of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) under drought …
