Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Silica gel gave maximum silicon uptake of wheat at the three-leaf stage (0.028 µg g−1 DW).
- Intervention effect Silica gel gave maximum silicon uptake of wheat at anthesis (0.072 µg g−1 DW).
- Intervention effect Silica gel gave maximum silicon uptake of wheat at maturity (0.103 µg g−1 DW).
- Intervention effect Increasing Si concentration from 0.5% to 1.5% significantly increased silicon uptake of wheat.
- Intervention effect Silica gel treatments kept the leaf membrane stability index of wheat at its maximum (78.90%) compared with others.
- Intervention effect Silica gel treatments kept epicuticular wax of wheat at its maximum (2.6 mg g−1 DW) compared with others.
- Intervention effect Silica gel treatments kept relative water content of wheat at its maximum (83.88%) compared with others.
- Intervention effect Silica gel treatments kept proline of wheat at its maximum (54.90 µg g−1) compared with others.
- Intervention effect Silica gel with 1.5% silicon concentration gave maximum spike length of wheat (14.3 cm).
- Intervention effect Silica gel with 1.5% silicon concentration gave maximum biological yield of wheat (7.63 g pot−1).
- Intervention effect Silica gel with 1.5% silicon concentration gave maximum hundred-grain weight of wheat (3.97 g pot−1).
- Recommendation Silica gel with 1.5% silicon concentration is a good seed priming option for wheat under drought stress.
