The 20th century saw dramatic increases in agricultural productivity, largely through the
development and application of pesticides, fertilisers rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, and …

The impact of stress on crop productivity and the ecosystem have been magnified by climate
changes and mispractices in the agriculture field. Soil microbiome is a diverse system …

Different from the urbanization and aging population challenges experienced by developed

Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.), being a high silicon (Si)-accumulator, is a major global food
crop for more than half of the world's population. However, both salinity and drought, two of …

At present, drought and soil salinity are among the most severe environmental stresses that
affect the growth of plants through marked reduction of water uptake which lowers water …
