Effects of Silicon on Transpiration and Leaf Conductance in Rice Plants (Oryza sativa L.)
To characterize the protection effect of silicon against excessive transpiration in rice plants (Oryza sativa L.), we investigated the factors responsible for transpiration, such as cuticular conductance (gc), leaf surface wax content (WC), and stomatal movement in response to environmental stimuli,...
