Abstract excerpt
Water stress, even at light or moderate levels, can negatively affect wheat physiology by altering gas exchange and photosynthetic pigments, thereby restricting growth, while severe stress further amplifies these effects and leads to more pronounced yield reductions. Foliar application of silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) may help mitigate some of these detrimental effects on wheat's physiological and agronomic...
