Aquaporin-mediated increase in root hydraulic conductance is involved in silicon-induced improved root water uptake under osmotic stress in Sorghum bicolor L.
The fact that silicon application alleviates water deficit stress has been widely reported, but
the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here the effects of silicon on water uptake and …
