Long period of intensive crop cultivation deplete the available soil silicon (Si). Depletion of
available Si in the soil could be one of the possible limiting factors amongst others …

▪ Abstract Silicon is present in plants in amounts equivalent to those of such macronutrient
elements as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, and in grasses often at higher levels …

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 …

Silicon is the second most abundant element in soils, the mineral substrate for most of the
world's plant life. The soil water, or the" soil solution," contains silicon, mainly as silicic acid …

Although silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element both on the surface of the Earth's
crust and in soils, it has not yet been listed among the essential elements for higher plants …

Hundreds of single species studies have demonstrated the facility of silicon (Si) to alleviate
diverse abiotic stresses in plants. Understanding of the mechanisms of Si‐mediated stress …

The effects of exogenous silicon (Si) on time dependent changes of the activities of major
antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, SOD; guaiacol peroxidase, GPX; ascorbate …

Two contrasting barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars, ie Kepin No. 7 (salt sensitive) and
Jian 4 (salt tolerant), were grown hydroponically to study the effect of exogenous silicon (Si) …

The influence of silicon (Si)(2.5 mM), sodium chloride (NaCl)(100 mM), and Si (2.5 mM)+
NaCl (97.5 mM) supply on chlorophyll content, chlorophyll fluorescence, the concentration of …

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 …
