The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Physiological responses of wheat to drought stress and its mitigation approaches (2018, background): “It was also reported that the alleviation of drought stress in wheat plants using silicon depends on the upsurge of antioxidant defense capabilities (Pei et al. 2010; Gong and Chen 2012).”
Recent methods of drought stress tolerance in plants (2017, unknown): “Pei et al.”
Application of Nano-Silicon Dioxide Improves Salt Stress Tolerance in Strawberry Plants (2019, background): “leaves increased under water stress conditions, while the addition of silicon decreased proline accumulation, consistent with proline accumulation being linked as a sign of stress damage in experimental conditions [39].”
Drought Stress in Wheat during Flowering and Grain-filling Periods (2014, background): “For instance, application of 1.0 mM Si partially improved shoot growth (but not root) and increased leaf chlorophyll contents of wheat plants under drought (Pei et al., 2010).”
