Silicon-mediated alleviation of cadmium stress in Pennisetum glaucum: insights from physiology and root transcriptomics analysis

The problem of cadmium (Cd) pollution in soil has attracted much attention. Although Pennisetum glaucum has developed tolerance mechanisms to heavy metals, the accumulation of excess Cd through the food chain threatens human health. Silicon (Si) has a beneficial role in alleviating environmental stress. However, th...
