Silicon (Si) is a beneficial nutrient and is known for imparting resistance to many of the abiotic and biotic stresses in crop plants. A pot experiment was conducted in wire house to elucidate the effect of exogenous Si on growth, physiological, and biochemical activities in wheat at different phenological stages (seedling, vegetative, and maturity...

This contribution explores the systematic substitution of phosphorene monoflakes (Mfs) and biflakes (Bfs) with aluminum, silicon, and sulfur. These systems were investigated using density functional theory employing the TPSS exchange-correlation functional and complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) calculations. Al and Si substitution...

Early blight is the most devastating disease in tomato which causes huge yield losses across the globe. Hence, development of specific, efficient and ecofriendly tools are required to increase the disease resistance in tomato plants. Here, we systematically investigate the defensive role and priming effect of silicon (Si) in tomato plants under con...

The features of laser structuring of the n-doped crystalline silicon surface achieved by femtosecond laser irradiation with different wavelengths, namely fundamental wavelength of 800 nm, the second (400 nm) and the third (266 nm) laser harmonics, have been studied. Morphology analysis of the processed Si surface reveals laser-induced periodic surf...

Soil drought is a major problem in plant cultivation. This is particularly true for thermophilic plants, such as maize, which grow in areas often affected by precipitation shortage. The problem may be alleviated using plant growth and development stimulators. Therefore, the aim of the study was to analyze the effects of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA...

Silicon nanoparticles based composite electrodes for Li-ion batteries reach high specific capacities and enhance cyclability compared with larger silicon particles. Such electrodes are foreseen for the next generation Li-ion batteries (LiB). Playing on binder and conductive additives in the formulation of the Si based electrodes is a well-known str...

Femtosecond laser has been widely utilized for modification of crystal structure to achieve desired functions. So far, however, the effect of crystallographic orientation on the induced structure by femtosecond laser processing has yet been comprehensively studied. The present work is undertaken in an attempt to fill this gap in our knowledge. To t...
