24 Aug Silicon element: A beneficial component to recover stress tolerance in plants
सिलिकॉन तत्व: पौधों में तनाव सहिष्णुता में सुधार के लिए लाभकारी घटक The beneficial effects of Si are mainly associated with its high deposition in plant tissues, enhancing their strength and rigidity. However, Si might play an active role in enhancing host resistance to plant diseases by stimulating defense reaction mechanisms. Because many plants are not able to accumulate Si at high enough levels to be beneficial, genetically manipulating the Si uptake capacity of the root might help plants to accumulate more Si and, hence, improve their ability to overcome biotic and abiotic stresses. A brief history of silicon in plants Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element after oxygen in soil. Silicon...
