Sodium salinity negatively affects and reduces yields in international agricultural systems.
This stress decreases crop growth and development, causing tissue death, flowering …

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 …

Food security relies on plant productivity and plant's resilience to climate change driven
environmental stresses. Plants employ diverse adaptive mechanisms of stress-signalling …

Salinity reduces agricultural productivity majorly by inhibiting seed germination. Exogenous
salicylic acid (SA) can prevent the harm caused to rice by salinity, but the mechanisms by …

Melatonin plays important roles in multiple stress responses; however, the downstream
signaling pathway and molecular mechanism remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate …

Salt stress is a key environmental factor that has adverse effects on plant growth and
development. High salinity induces a series of structural and functional changes in the …

Silicon (Si) is recognized as a beneficial element for rice crop growth, as it can increase
production by alleviating both biotic and abiotic stresses during cultivation. The beneficial …

Drought is a serious factor limiting rice production, and it leads to huge economic losses.
Considering the current and projected global food demand, increasing productivity of …

Soil salinization is a crucial factor that impacts plant distribution and growth. Apocynum
venetum, an ornamental plant with medicinal value, has shown remarkable salt tolerance …

Silicon (Si) fertiliser can improve rice (Oryza sativa) tolerance to salinity. The rate of Si
uptake and its associated benefits are known to differ between plant genotypes, but, to date …
