Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Si and Cd effects on wheat roots depended on their concentrations at acidic pH.
- Intervention effect Si at 1 or 3 mM and acidic pH improved wheat root development.
- Intervention effect Cd with acidic pH significantly reduced root growth and biomass.
- Intervention effect Cd with acidic pH increased root antioxidants.
- Intervention effect Cd with acidic pH increased root ROS contents.
- Intervention effect Si in Cd-contaminated acidic solution promoted wheat root growth versus Cd alone.
- Intervention effect Si in Cd-contaminated acidic solution decreased wheat root ROS versus Cd alone.
- Intervention effect Si in Cd-contaminated acidic solution increased wheat root antioxidants versus Cd alone.
- Intervention effect Si alleviation was better at 3 mM than 1 mM.
- Recommendation The authors suggest Si as a beneficial nutrient under Cd and acidic stress.
