Beneficial effects of silicon on salt and drought tolerance in plants
Yongxing Zhu,Haijun Gong +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review recent advances on silicon uptake, transport, and accumulation in plants and how silicon alleviates salinity toxicity and drought stress, and the major points are the following: (1) both passive and active silicon uptake may coexist in plants; (2) although silicon transporters have been identified in some plants, the process of silicon transport needs further clarification; (3) the mechanisms for silicon-mediated tolerance of salinity and drought have been extensively investigated at both physiological and biochemical levels.

Muhammad Rizwan,Shafaqat Ali,Muhammad Ibrahim,Mujahid Farid,Muhammad Adrees,Saima Aslam Bharwana,Muhammad Zia-ur-Rehman,Muhammad Farooq Qayyum,Farhat Abbas +8 more
TL;DR: The potential for improving plant resistance to drought and salt stress by Si application is highlighted and a theoretical basis for application of Si in saline soils and arid and semiarid regions worldwide is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consistent alleviation of abiotic stress with silicon addition: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that across plant families and stress types, Si increases dry weight, assimilation rate and chlorophyll biosynthesis and alleviates oxidative damage in stressed plants, and Meta-analyses showed consistent alleviation by Si of oxidative damage caused by a range of abiotic stresses across diverse species.

Salt and drought stress signal transduction in plants
TL;DR: Salt and drought stress signal transduction consists of ionic and osmotic homeostasis signaling pathways, detoxification (i.e., damage control and repair) response pathways, and pathways for growth regulation.
