Silicon Improves Rice Salinity Resistance by Alleviating Ionic Toxicity and Osmotic Constraint in an Organ-Specific Pattern

Salinity stress severely inhibits the growth of plant via ionic toxicity and osmotic constraint. Exogenous silicon (Si) can alleviate salinity stress, but the mechanisms behind remain unclear. To investigate the role of Si in alleviating ionic and osmotic components of salinity, rice (Oryza sativa L...
