Foliar Application of Silicon Alleviates Adverse Effect of Drought Stress by improving Growth, Physiological attributes, and Antioxidant Defense of Camelina (Camelina sativa L.) and Canola (Brassica napus L.)
Abstract:Purpose: Drought stress is a global phenomenon that poses harmful impacts on crop growth and development leading to yield losses in oilseed crops. Canola and camlina are highly sensitive to drought stress. The present study investigated the role of foliar-applied silicon to alleviate the harmful effect of drought stress in camelina and canola genotypes.
Methods: Different concentrations of silicon (Si) foliar applications (NS= no spray, WS= water spray, Si-2= 2 mM Si, Si-4= 4 mM Si, Si-6= 6 mM Si) were used al… Show more
