- Intervention effect Drought stress significantly enhanced the activities of ascorbate peroxidase, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase.
- Intervention effect Drought stress significantly enhanced catalase activity.
- Intervention effect Drought stress elevated accumulation of soluble sugars and proline.
- Intervention effect Silicon further enhanced oxidative defense enzyme activities and osmotically active molecules in drought-stressed plants.
- Intervention effect Water shortage decreased protein content in all cultivars.
- Observation Pollen area ratio was lower than 1 for cultivars Shiraz and Marvdasht under drought.
- Observation Pollen area ratio was greater than 1 for cultivars Chamran and Sirvan.
- Intervention effect Water-limited regimes decreased leaf water potential in all cultivars.
- Intervention effect Silicon supply improved leaf water potential under water-limited regimes.
- Intervention effect Water shortage increased leaf K, Mg and Ca concentrations.
- Intervention effect Under drought stress, Si-treated plants had higher leaf K concentration than none-treated plants.
