Silicon (Si) being considered as a non-essential element for plant growth and development finds its role in providing several benefits to the plant, especially under stress conditions. Thus, Si can be regarded as “multi-talented” quasi-essential element. It is the most abundant element present in the earth’s crust after oxygen predominantly as a silicon dioxide (SiO2), a form plants cannot utilize...
The beneficial effects of silicon and its role for plants are well established; however, the advantages of silicon nanoparticles over its bulk material are an area that is less explored. Silicon nanoparticles have distinctive physiological characteristics that allow them to enter plants and influence plant metabolic activities. The mesoporous nature of silicon nanoparticles also makes them good candidates...
Key message Seed priming with cold plasma in combination with manipulation of culture medium with silica nanoparticle provokes anatomical, physiological and molecular changes, thereby reinforcing the plant growth and protection. Abstract This study addressed responses of Astragalus fridae to seed priming with cold plasma (0.84 W/cm2; 0, 30, 60, and 90 s) and applications of SiO2 nanoparticle (nSi;...
