Silicon-mediated modulation of maize growth, metabolic responses, and antioxidant mechanisms under saline conditions

Silicon-mediated modulation of maize growth, metabolic responses, and antioxidant mechanisms under saline conditions

Abstract Purpose This study explored how exogenous silicon (Si) affects growth and salt resistance in maize. Methods The maize was cultivated in sand-filled pots, incorporating varied silicon and salt stress (NaCl) treatments. Silicon was applied at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 mM, and salt stress was induced...
