Possible Interaction: Silicon and Sodium Chloride

“The interactive effects of silicon and NaCl also induced the activities of the enzymes related to polyamine biosynthesis and inhibited polyamine degrading enzymes that enhanced PA contents in the cultivars.”

“Furthermore, Si alleviated oxidative damages under both NaCl and PEG by regulating antioxidant enzyme activities.”

“Generally, Si significantly promoted shoot and root growth in rice exposed to both NaCl and PEG.”

“Joint application of exogenous silicon along with NaCl , altered the organic acids levels and activities of enzymes in both cultivars of rice seedlings conferring tolerance against salt induced stress.”

“Thereby, silicon improves salt tolerance by increasing APX and CAT activities and decreasing hydrogen peroxide, salt ion accumulation, photosynthetic pigment losses, and growth inhibition.”

“Meanwhile, addition of Si with NaCl treatment enhanced the abundance of 30 proteins and downregulated five proteins.”

“ Si addition markedly affected the G. uralensis growth in a combined dose of NaCl and PEG dependent manner.”

“ Si application also increased proline concentration under NaCl and NaCl—20% PEG, but decreased it under NaCl—10% PEG, indicating proline play an important role in G. uralensis seedling response to osmotic stress.”

“However, in the presence of NaCl , additional Si significantly enhanced the selective transport capacity for K+ over Na+ that contributed to reduced Na+ uptake and increased K+ uptake by roots, thereby improving its growth and K+/Na+ homeostasis in white clover.”

“Selenium (Se) and silicon (Si) can be partially alleviated by the effects wrought by NaCl on the plant metabolism.”
