TLDR
Alleviation of the Cd-inhibitory effect on maize plants by Si was not due to exclusion of Cd from the plant; in contrast, Cd concentration in below- and above-ground plant parts and the total amount of CD per plant were significantly higher in the C d + Si plants than in theCd treatment.About:

Hyacinthe Le Gall,Florian Philippe,Jean Marc Domon,Françoise Gillet,Jérôme Pelloux,Catherine Rayon +5 more
TL;DR: The results show the need to undertake large-scale analyses, using multidisciplinary approaches, to unravel the consequences of stress on the cell wall and identify the key components that could be targeted to improve biomass production under stress conditions.

Muhammad Adrees,Shafaqat Ali,Muhammad Rizwan,Muhammad Zia-ur-Rehman,Muhammad Ibrahim,Farhat Abbas,Mujahid Farid,Muhammad Farooq Qayyum,Muhammad Irshad +8 more
TL;DR: The mechanisms through which Si can alleviate heavy metal toxicity in plants are reviewed and the key mechanisms evoked include reducing active heavy metal ions in growth media, reduced metal uptake and root-to-shoot translocation, chelation and stimulation of antioxidant systems in plants.

Salinity tolerance mechanisms in glycophytes: An overview with the central focus on rice plants
TL;DR: Protective mechanisms that prevent water loss due to the increased osmotic pressure, the development of Na+ toxicity on essential cellular metabolisms, and the movement of ions via the apoplastic pathway (i.e. apoplastics barriers) are described here in detail.
