Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Moderate and high drought significantly reduced stomatal conductance, transpiration and photosynthetic rate.
- Intervention effect Moderate and high drought significantly reduced membrane stability, photochemical activity and relative water content.
- Association Drought-linked physiological declines were associated with thinner blade, phloem and spongy layers.
- Association Structural reductions were linked to decreased leaf area, plant height and chlorophyll content.
- Association Structural reductions were linked to lower nutrient levels and impaired yield.
- Intervention effect Foliar CFE improved measured soybean parameters under drought.
- Association Treatment enhancements were associated with increased antioxidant enzymes, proline and soluble sugars.
- Association Treatment enhancements were associated with increased carbohydrates, glutathione and α-tocopherol.
- Intervention effect Combined CFE and Si-NPs improved soybean biological yield by 31% under severe drought versus control.
