“…In this study, cucumber fruit production increased with the application of Si as well as Hu et al (2022) showed an increase in the yield and number of fruits of hybrid cucumber 'Jinyou 315' with foliar application of Si, alone or combined with Se. Likewise, research results by Basirat and Mousavi (2022) agree that Si, applied via foliar to cucumber plants grown under high temperature conditions, improves the total yield of cucumber fruits as well as their quality, with an increase of 36.14% of the total yield and 40.29% more marketable fruits. Similarly, root application of 500 mg dm -3 and 750 mg dm -3 of Si increased the production of cucumber fruits by 8.60% and 5.89% respectively, according to Jarosz (2013).…”

Silicon (Si) is beneficial for plants that are under unfavorable conditions. In this study conducted under greenhouse conditions at Chapingo Autonomous University, Si fertilization was tested to examine whether it affected yields, biometrics, physiological parameters, and nutritional attributes of cucumber plants cultivated at different moisture levels in the substrate. Fifteen treatments were tried in a completely randomized design, including three moisture levels (50-60%, 75-85%, and 90-100% of container capacity (CC) and five Si doses (0, 50, 100 mg L-1 SiO2, 2 g L-1, and 3 g L-1 Wollastonite). Uniform irrigation was applied until the 18th day after transplantation, and controlled irrigation was applied according to the moisture levels until the end of the experiment. 3 g L-1 of wollastonite under 75-85% CC enhanced cucumber yield by 24.9% in comparison to untreated plants, while no Si dose affected fruit length, diameter, weight, and total soluble solids. At 90-100% of CC, 50 mg L-1 SiO2 increased the aerial biomass production (ABP) of the plants by 9.3%, and at 50-60% of CC, 100 mg L-1 SiO2 generated 11.8% more aerial biomass than untreated plants. As Si did not affect root production, mainly at 50-60% of CC, it improved chlorophyll a, b, and the total content of the leaves. Different parts of the plant saw significant increases in N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and Si concentrations because of Si’s interactions with moisture levels. When the substrate is low in moisture, Si is likely to improve cucumber yields, physiological, and nutritional characteristics of the plant.

Scaling up the synthesis of fluorescent silica nanoparticles to meet the current demand in diverse applications involves technological limitations. The present study relates to the hydrothermal synthesis of water-soluble, crystalline, blue-emitting amine-functionalized silica nanoparticles from coal fly ash sustainably and economically. This study used tertiary amine (trimethylamine) to prepare amine-functionalized fluorescent silica nanoparticles, enhancing fluorescence quantum yield and nitrogen content for nanofertilizer application. The TEM and FESEM studies show that the silica nanoparticles have a spherical morphology with an average diameter of 4.0 nm. The x-ray photoelectron and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy studies reveal the presence of the amine group at the surface of silica nanoparticles. The silica nanoparticles exhibit blue fluorescence with an emission maximum of 454 nm at 370 nm excitation and show excitation-dependent emission properties in the aqueous medium. With the perfect spectral overlap between silica nanoparticle emission (donor) and chlorophyll absorption (acceptor), fluorescent silica nanoparticles enhance plant photosynthesis rate by resonance energy transfer. This process accelerates the photosynthesis rate to improve the individual plant’s quality and growth. These findings suggested that the fly ash-derived functionalized silica nanoparticles could be employed as nanofertilizers and novel delivery agents.

Climate change, driven by human activities and natural processes, has led to critical alterations in varying patterns during cropping seasons and is a vital threat to global food security. The climate change impose several abiotic stresses on crop production systems. These abiotic stresses include extreme temperatures, drought, and salinity, which expose agricultural fields to more vulnerable conditions and lead to substantial crop yield and quality losses. Plant hormones, especially salicylic acid (SA), has crucial roles for plant resiliency under unfavorable environments. This review explores the genetics and molecular mechanisms underlying SA's role in mitigating abiotic stress-induced damage in plants. It also explores the SA biosynthesis pathways, and highlights the regulation of their products under several abiotic stresses. Various roles and possible modes of action of SA in mitigating abiotic stresses are discussed, along with unraveling the genetic mechanisms and genes involved in responses under stress conditions. Additionally, this review investigates molecular pathways and mechanisms through which SA exerts its protective effects, such as redox signaling, cross-talks with other plant hormones, and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. Moreover, the review discusses potentials of using genetic engineering approaches, such as CRISPR technology, for deciphering the roles of SA in enhancing plant resilience to climate change related abiotic stresses. This comprehensive analysis bridges the gap between genetics of SA role in response to climate change related stressors. Overall goal is to highlight SA's significance in safeguarding plants and by offering insights of SA hormone for sustainable agriculture under challenging environmental conditions.
