Silicon dioxide nanoparticles ameliorate the phytotoxic hazards of aluminum in maize grown on acidic soil University of Antwerp
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major constraint for crop production in acid soils. Therefore, looking for sustainable solutions to increase plant tolerance to Al toxicity is needed. Although several studies addressed the potential utilization of silica or silicon dioxide nanopartides (SNPs) to ameliorate heavy metal phytotoxicity, the exact mechanisms underlying SNPs-induced stress tolerance are still unknown. The current study investigated how ...
