Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Drought reduced grains per spike, 1000-grain weight and grain yield across wheat cultivars.
- Intervention effect Drought reduced wheat biomass.
- Intervention effect Drought increased electrolyte leakage in flag leaves of all wheat cultivars.
- Intervention effect Foliar silicon increased the previously listed wheat growth, physiology and yield parameters.
- Intervention effect Foliar silicon reduced wheat electrolyte leakage.
- Intervention effect Silicon applied at tillering and anthesis had the highest positive influence under stress and non-stress conditions.
- Observation Physiological responses differed significantly among wheat cultivars.
- Observation Drought tolerant wheat cultivars had higher growth and yield than drought sensitive cultivars under drought.
- Mechanism The authors conclude silicon at tillering and anthesis promotes wheat drought resistance by maintaining membrane integrity, water content and chlorophyll.
