Silicon supplementation modulates antioxidant system and osmolyte accumulation to balance salt stress in Acacia gerrardii Benth

Experiments were conducted to investigate the role of silicon (Si, 2 mM potassium silicate - K2SiO3) in ameliorating the salinity (200 mM NaCl) triggered growth retardation, photosynthetic inhibition and the oxidative damage in Talh trees (Acacia gerrardii Benth). Salinity stress reduced length and...
