Silicon-mediated drought tolerance in Vigna mungo through coordinated regulation of aquaporin genes, plant water relations and photosynthetic processes.
Investigation of the role of silicon in mitigating drought-induced damage in two mash bean cultivars found it significantly enhances drought tolerance in mash bean by improving photosynthesis efficiency, antioxidant capacity, and molecular regulation of water transport.
