Other claims from this paper (7)
- Mechanism Reduced shoot Na+ concentration and increased shoot K+:Na+ ratio led to improved plant growth in wheat under silicon.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, silicon raised cell-wall Na+ binding in wheat genotype SARC-1 from 49% to 87%.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, silicon raised cell-wall Na+ binding in wheat genotype 7-Cerros from 37% to 79%.
- Intervention effect Under saline conditions, adding silicon increased the concentration of the antioxidant glutathione in wheat.
- Intervention effect Silicon raised shoot fresh weight by 39% in the salt-resistant genotype SARC-1, less than the 49% increase in 7-Cerros.
- Intervention effect Silicon raised root fresh weight by 12% in SARC-1, less than the 22% increase in 7-Cerros.
- Observation Silicon may also have decreased the potentially toxic leaf sap Na+ concentration in wheat.
