Soil salinization is one of the major environmental stressors hampering the growth and yield
of crops all over the world. A wide spectrum of physiological and biochemical alterations of …

Abstract Background Selenium (Se) is an essential element for mammals and its deficiency
in the diet is a global problem. Plants accumulate Se and thus represent a major source of …

Drought is an important environmental stress that has negative effects on plant growth
leading to a reduction in yield. In this study, the positive role of nanoparticles of SiO2, Se …

Salt stress is a major threat for plant growth worldwide. The regulatory mechanisms of silicon
in alleviating salt stress have been widely studied using physiological, molecular genetics …

Drought stress impairs plant growth leading to depression in yield. This experiment aimed to
elucidate the substantial impact of silicon (Si)[in forms of SiO 2 and SiO 2-nanoparticles (SiO …

Soil salinization is the most common abiotic stress limiting agricultural productivity
worldwide. Recent research has suggested that the application of silicon (Si) has beneficial …

Abiotic stresses like heavy metals, pesticides, salinity, drought and extreme temperatures
impacting the normal growth and development of the plants and it is imperative to develop …

Salt stress is known to negatively affect the fundamental processes in plants, reducing their
growth and yield. The role of Silicon (Si) to protect the sorghum and sunflower plants against …

Salt stress restricts the efficiency of plants grown under such conditions, prompting generous
losses of yield, it is a severe environmental impediment that prevents the normal functioning …

Excess salinity is one of the most important abiotic stress that negatively affect plant growth
and development. Like many other leguminous crops, dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), is …
