Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Salinity decreased dry weight, stem length and leaf area.
- Intervention effect Salinity decreased chlorophyll and anthocyanin content.
- Intervention effect Salinity decreased potassium and protein concentration and potassium to sodium ratio.
- Intervention effect Salinity decreased root silicon content.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased carotenoid content.
- Intervention effect Higher silicon concentrations often negatively affected most characteristics.
- Intervention effect Some silicon levels significantly increased leaf chlorophyll, carotenoids and anthocyanin under salinity.
- Intervention effect Some silicon levels significantly increased potassium, silicon and protein content under salinity.
- Intervention effect Some silicon levels decreased plant sodium content under salinity.
- Mechanism The authors interpreted low silicon levels as reducing salinity harm and improving salt resistance.
