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 …

Over the past few decades, heavy metal contamination in soil and water has increased due
to anthropogenic activities. The higher exposure of crop plants to heavy metal stress …

In present era, heavy metal pollution is rapidly increasing which present many
environmental problems. These heavy metals are mainly accumulated in soil and are …

The role of silicon (Si) in alleviating biotic as well as abiotic stresses is well known. However,
the potential of silicon nanoparticle (SiNP) in regulating abiotic stress and associated …

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) effects on mineral nutrient status in plants are not well investigated. It is known
that Si has a beneficial effect on plants under stressed conditions. The aim was to make a …
