Food security is increasingly threatened by climate change and environmental pressures
that hinder plant growth and development. Harnessing soil microorganisms, such as …

Drought is one of the major yield‐limiting factors under climatic adversaries. The positive
role of silicon (Si) in drought tolerance of plants has unfolded a new avenue for enhancing …

In this study, 20-day-old soybean plants were watered with 100 mL of 100 mM NaCl solution
and sprayed with silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) or potassium silicate every 3 days over 15 …

In recent years, foliar applications of nanoparticles are increasingly being employed in
agricultural fields as fertilizers to enhance crop yields. However, limited studies are available …

Nickel (Ni) toxicity disrupts the cellular processes and is detrimental for plant growth and
development. Silicon (Si) and AMF (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi) alleviate heavy metal …

Silicon (Si) supplementation can enhance symbiotic functions in some legumes (Fabaceae)
with their nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia, such as root nodulation and nitrogen fixation. However, it …

Introduction Numerous studies have reported the beneficial effects of silicon (Si) in
alleviating biotic or abiotic stresses in many plant species. However, the role of Si in …

Temperate grasslands exhibit strong spatial and temporal variation in water regimes. Thus,
grassland plants experience potentially stressful water regimes, which may influence their …

Supplementing plants with silicon (Si) often improves plant productivity and resilience to
biotic and abiotic stresses, but this is mostly reported in highly controlled experimental …

Nitrogen fixation in legume nodules is crucial for plant growth and development. Therefore,
this study aims to investigate the effects of nitric oxide [S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO)] and …
