- Intervention effect Drought significantly reduced leaf water status, pigments, and gas exchange across varieties.
- Intervention effect Drought increased MDA, TFC, TAC, and 5mC across varieties.
- Intervention effect Fv/Fm remained unchanged under drought.
- Association Under drought, La Harpe had lower water status and gas exchange than Smuga.
- Association Under drought, Panda had lower water status and gas exchange than Smuga.
- Observation La Harpe had the highest root MDA accumulation.
- Observation La Harpe showed increased leaf 5mC.
- Observation La Harpe was the only line with reduced WUE.
- Observation Smuga had the highest baseline proline level.
- Intervention effect Smuga had the strongest proline increase under drought.
- Intervention effect Foliar silicon reduced MDA across tissues, varieties, and water regimes.
- Intervention effect Foliar silicon enhanced TFC and TAC antioxidant activity across tissues, varieties, and water regimes.
- Intervention effect Silicon improved photosynthetic pigment levels.
- Intervention effect Under drought, silicon improved water status and gas exchange in La Harpe.
- Intervention effect Under drought, silicon improved water status and gas exchange in Panda.
- Intervention effect Under drought, silicon produced minimal changes in Smuga water status and gas exchange.
- Association Under drought, Smuga had the strongest positive trait correlations; Panda moderate and La Harpe negative.
- Intervention effect After silicon, the trait correlations improved most in Smuga.
- Recommendation The authors support silicon as a tool for improving drought resilience in buckwheat cultivation.
