The 30Si silicon isotope stable was used for assessing the accumulation and translocation of Si in rice and bean plants grown in labeled nutritive solution. The isotopic silicon composition in plant materials was determined ...

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major abiotic constraint for agricultural production in acidic soils that needs a sustainable solution to deal with plant tolerance. Silicon (Si) plays important roles in alleviating the harmful ...

This study evaluated whether supplied Silicon (Si) in different forms alleviates the deleterious effects of NaCl by decreasing the Na+/K+, Na+/Ca2+, and K+/Ca2+ ratios in Si-accumulating Sorghum bicolor L. ‘Moench’ (sorghum), ...

Silicon (Si), depending on the application method, can benefit the growth of peanuts by stoichiometric modification of carbon (C); however, this is not yet well known in this culture. Therefore, the objective was to evaluate ...

Silicon (Si) combined with foliar spraying of salicylic acid (SA) can affect the absorption of this beneficial element. A study with Si non-accumulators plants (soybean and bean) observed that SA foliar spraying improved ...

Silicon (Si) has been supplied to plants via application of calcium silicate to soil; however, high doses of calcium silicate are required because of its low solubility. Nanoparticles can reduce Si doses and be applied to ...

Root-supplied Si is thought to play a role in alleviating the effects of water-deficit stress in several crops. However, little information is known about the contribution of Si, especially foliar application, in the ...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between Si and NH4+ toxicity in the context of the nutrition, physiology, and production of sugar beet grown using hydroponics. We hypothesized that NH4+ affects ...

Silicon can alleviate biotic and abiotic stresses in several crops, and it has beneficial effects on plants under nonstressed conditions. However, there is still doubt about foliar-applied Si efficiency and Si effects on ...
