Silicon (Si) is one of the essential and important elements that plays a vital role in the growth
and productivity of crop plants by improving their nutritional status. The exogenous …

It has been long recognized that silicon (Si) plays important roles in plant productivity by
improving mineral nutrition deficiencies. Despite the fact that Si is considered as 'quasi …

Eucalyptus are widely planted in regions with low rainfall, occasioning frequent drought
stresses. To alleviate the stress‐induced effects on plants growing in these environments …

Climate change is expected to increase the frequency of droughts in most tropical regions in
the coming decades. A passive phenomenon called hydraulic redistribution (HR) allows …

While soil salinization is a major concern for agriculture worldwide, the application of sodium
(Na) can stimulate growth in many plant species, due to its ability to replace potassium (K) in …

Ontogenetic aging of tissues and the gradual decrease of adventitious rooting are known
challenges for the clonal propagation of woody species, hampering clonal forestry …

Eucalyptus, the most widely planted tree genus worldwide, is frequently cultivated in soils
with low water and nutrient availability. Sodium (Na) can substitute some physiological …

Sodium (Na+) is a beneficial element for most plants that may replace potassium (K+) in
osmoregulatory process to a certain extent, increasing plant water-use efficiency. Thus …

Adaptive responses to abiotic stresses such as soil acidity in Eucalyptus—the most widely
planted broad-leaf forest genus globally—are poorly understood. This is particularly evident …

Wood formation is a complex process. The cell wall is formed by a number of polymers
whose biosynthesis is controlled by several genes. These polymers crosslink to each other …
