• Effect of salinity and silicon on root characteristics, growth, water status, proline content and ion accumulation of purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) (2011, background): “Tuna et al. (2008) in a growth room experiment reported that supplementary Si at both 0.25 and 0.5 mM ameliorated the negative effects of salinity on wheat plant dry matter and chlorophyll content.”
• Silicon amelioration of manganese toxicity in Mn-sensitive and Mn-tolerant maize varieties (2009, background): “ncreased Si supply improves the structural integrity of crops and ay also improve plant tolerance to diseases, salt stress, metal toxcity, drought stress, radiation damage, nutrient imbalance, high emperature, and freezing (Epstein, 1994, 1999;Kimet al., 2002;Ma t al., 2001; Ma, 2004; Tuna et al., 2”
• Overcoming Salinity Barriers to Crop Production Using Traditional Methods (2013, background): “In other studies (Tuna et al., 2008a; Hashemi et al., 2010; Lee et al., 2010), it was found that addition of Si to wheat, canola and soybean plants grown under saline conditions increases leaf chlorophyll content.”
• Consistent alleviation of abiotic stress with silicon addition: a meta-analysis. (2016, neutral): “2006; Wang & Han 2007; Gunes et al. 2007b; c; da; e, 2008; Maksimovic et al. 2007, 2012; Savvas et al. 205 2007; Murillo-Amador et al. 2007; Tuna et al. 2008; Nwugo & Huerta 2008a; b, 2011; Saqib, Zörb & Schubert 206 2008; Vaculík et al. 2009, 2012; Feng, Shi & Wang 2009; Feng et al. 2010; Inal,…”
• Agglomerating seeds to enhance native seedling emergence and growth (2012, background): “The application of silicon fertilizer to cereal crops has been shown to increase seedling resistance to both biotic and abiotic stresses (Ahmad, Zaheer & Ismail 1992; Liang 1998; Tuna et al. 2008).”
• Salt Tolerance and Desalination Abilities of Nine Common Green Microalgae Isolates (2019, background): “The production of N-containing osmolytes reported in microalgae (glycine, betaine and/or proline) could be the background of this phenomenon [49,52,59], although the confirmation of this assumption requires further investigations.”
• Application of Nano-Silicon Dioxide Improves Salt Stress Tolerance in Strawberry Plants (2019, result): “This observation is consistent with previous reports indicating that RWC in wheat plants was significantly lower under stress conditions, and adding silicon nutrition completely restored RWC to the levels observed in the non-stress plants [48,49].”
