The Effect of Silicon on Osmotic and Drought Stress Tolerance in Wheat Landraces

The Effect of Silicon on Osmotic and Drought Stress Tolerance in Wheat Landraces

Drought stress reduces annual global wheat yields by 20%. Silicon (Si) fertilisation has been proposed to improve plant drought stress tolerance. However, it is currently unknown if and how Si affects different wheat landraces, especially with respect to their innate Si accumulation properties. In t...
