TL;DR: The use of Si (mostly as industrial slags and rice straw) is predicted to become a sustainable strategy and an emerging trend in agriculture to enhance crop growth and alleviate abiotic and biotic stresses in the not too distant future.

TL;DR: Modulation in the spectral quality particularly by the blue LED induced the antioxidant defense line and was directly correlated with the enhancement of phytochemicals, so the incorporation of blue or red LED light sources during in vitro propagation of R. glutinosa can be a beneficial way to increase the medicinal values of the plant.

TL;DR: Growth at light intensities of 230 or 260 μmol·m−2·s−1 PPFD with longer photoperiods of 18/6 and 9/3 (light/dark) resulted in good growth as well as higher photosynthetic capacity.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of silicon (Si) on the growth and activities of major antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and guaiacol peroxidease (GPX), under high temperature stress were investigated.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that tomato plants have a greater capacity for tolerating saline stress through the improvement of photosynthetic metabolism and chloroplast proteome expression after silicon supplementation, and silicon plays an important role in moderating damage to chloroplasts and their metabolism in saline environments.
