Abiotic stress, Heavy metals, Nanoparticles, Plants, Silicon.Abstract
The presence of heavy metals in the environment and plants poses a significant global challenge. Silicon has emerged as a potentially vital element in mitigating abiotic stress, particularly heavy metal toxicity. As a naturally occurring beneficial element in the Earth's crust, silicon, when applied in the form of nanoparticles, serves as an important detoxification agent. Silicon nanoparticles engage in various mechanisms within plants, including forming complexes with heavy metals, reducing metal uptake, and influencing various chemical and physiological pathways. This review investigates the effects of silicon nanoparticles on heavy metal toxicity in plants and examines the key mechanisms through which these nanoparticles alleviate heavy metal stress. The review underscores the need for further in-depth research to fully understand and optimize the role of silicon nanoparticles in enhancing plant resilience against heavy metal pollution.
