Fig. 3From: The Ability of Silicon Fertilisation to Alleviate Salinity Stress in Rice is Critically Dependent on CultivarGrowth response of 8 different rice cultivars to salinity and Si. Plants were grown in hydroponics for 30 d at 0, 0.07, 0.4, 1 and 3 mM added Si and with 0, 50 or 80 mM NaCl. Note the total absence of growth in salt sensitive varieties such as IR154 and IR74341 when the medium contains salt and low Si. Also evident is the lack of response to Si in varieties such as OM4900 and GSOR115. Data show means (N = 3) with standard deviationsBack to article page
