Increasing drought stress is one of the most limiting factors for agricultural crop productivity
across the world. Silicon (Si) has been known to augment plant protection against drought …

Water deficit is the major yield‐limiting factor of crop plants. The exposure of plants to this
abiotic stress can result in oxidative damage due to the overproduction of reactive oxygen …
