Drought and salinity are the main abiotic stresses limiting crop yield and quality worldwide.
Improving food production in drought-and salt-prone areas is the key to meet the increasing …

Soil salinity and drought are major abiotic factors that limit crop growth and productivity
worldwide. Indeed, soil salinity and drought disrupt the cellular ionic and osmotic balance …

Plants are frequently exposed to a plethora of unfavorable or even adverse environmental
conditions, termed as abiotic stresses (such as salinity, drought, heat, cold, flooding, heavy …

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 …

Hydroponics is a soilless cultivation technique in which plants are grown in a nutrient
solution typically made from mineral fertilizers. This alternative to soil farming can be …

Silicon (Si), the second most predominant element in the earth crust consists of numerous
benefits to plant. Beneficial effect of Si has been apparently visible under both abiotic and …

Food security relies on plant productivity and plant's resilience to climate change driven
environmental stresses. Plants employ diverse adaptive mechanisms of stress-signalling …

Sand culture experiments were designed to investigate the effect and mechanism of
exogenous silicon on salt tolerance of tomato plants. Plant growth, photosynthetic gas …

Climatic variables are the main factors determining the crop productivity, and these undergo
changes in the course of time. Though silicon (Si) is not an essential element for the plants …

Silicon (S i) is generally considered a beneficial element for the growth of higher plants,
especially under stress conditions, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we tested the …
