Silicon-mediated regulation of photosynthesis, ion homeostasis and antioxidant defense improves salinity tolerance in Agropyron cristatum × A. desertorum cv. Hycrest-Mengnong

Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress that severely limits plant growth and productivity worldwide, particularly under changing climate conditions. Silicon (Si) has emerged as a promising approach for improving plant tolerance to salinity stress; however, its integrated physiological effects in perennial forage g...
