Free‐air CO2 enrichment (FACE) allows open‐air elevation of [CO2] without altering the
microclimate. Its scale uniquely supports simultaneous study from physiology and yield to …

Simple Summary Abiotic and biotic stresses are a major challenge for agricultural
production. To deal with stressed conditions, many techniques, including the use of …

In plants, pathogen attack can induce an immune response known as systemic acquired
resistance that protects against a broad spectrum of pathogens. In the search for safer …

Numerous studies have shown the beneficial effects of silicon (Si) for plant growth,
particularly under stress conditions, and hence a detailed understanding of the mechanisms …

In the era present, due to increasing incidences of a large number of different biotic and
abiotic stresses all over the world, the growth of plants (principal crops) may be restrained by …

Silicon (Si) plays a pivotal role in the nutritional status of a wide variety of monocot and dicot
plant species and helps them, whether directly or indirectly, counteract abiotic and/or biotic …

Although silicon (Si) is not recognized as an essential element for general higher plants, it
has beneficial effects on the growth and production of a wide range of plant species. Si is …

Silicon (Si) being considered as a non-essential element for plant growth and development
finds its role in providing several benefits to the plant, especially under stress conditions …

Silicon (Si) is the most copious element of existence in the lithosphere but still it has not
been added into the essential element list. The imperative role of Si in triggering growth and …

Abstract Background Silicon (Si) is known to have numerous beneficial effects on plants,
