The effect of silicon on the antioxidant system of tomato seedlings exposed to ...
Machado, Joana; Fernandes, Ana Patricia G.; Bokor, Boris; Vaculík, Marek; Heuvelink, Ep; Carvalho, Susana M. P.; Vasconcelos, Marta W.Exploring sustainable strategies for improving crop water and nitrogen use efficiency is essential. Silicon (Si) has been reported as a beneficial metalloid for plants since it alleviates several abiotic stresses (including drought) by triggering the plants´ antioxidant system. However, its role in mitigating the negative impact of nitrogen (N) deficit alone or when combined with water (W) deficit is not well s...
Mitigation of climate change and environmental hazards in plants: potential rol...
Bokor, Boris; Santos, Carla S.; Kostoláni, Dominik; Machado, Joana; Silva, Marta Nunes da; Carvalho, Susana M. P.; Vaculík, Marek; Vasconcelos, Marta W.In the last decades, the concentration of atmospheric CO2 and the average temperature have been increasing, and this trend is expected to become more severe in the near future. Additionally, environmental stresses including drought, salinity, UV-radiation, heavy metals, and toxic elements exposure represent a threat for ecosystems and agriculture. Climate and environmental changes negatively affect plant growth...
