Silicon is absorbed as uncharged mono-silicic acid by plant roots through passive
absorption of Lsi1, an influx transporter belonging to the aquaporin protein family. Lsi2 then …

Silicon (Si) speciation and availability in soils is highly important for ecosystem functioning,
because Si is a beneficial element for plant growth. Si chemistry is highly complex compared …

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 …

Globally, rejuvenation of soil health is a major concern due to the continuous loss of soil
fertility and productivity. Soil degradation decreases crop yields and threatens global food …

Abstract Aims Silicon (Si) has been shown to beneficially affect plant performance under
stressful environmental conditions, such as water or nutrient deficiency. Here we tested the …

In the last decades, the concentration of atmospheric CO 2 and the average temperature
have been increasing, and this trend is expected to become more severe in the near future …

Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) accelerate silica uptake in plants compared to bulk silica.
Additionally, SiNPs are potent enough to confer stress tolerance in crop plants against a …

Kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea L. var. gongylodes L.) was biofortified with selenium (Se), as
selenite and selenate, and iodine (I), as iodide and iodate, and their combinations through …

Plant silicon (Si) content is a trait that has gained increasing attention in recent years, and is
now often suggested to be a plant functional trait. This paper reviews the evidence that …

Over the last three decades, the increase in the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching
Earth's surface has drawn attention of the researchers. Among UV‐A (400–315 nm) and UV …
