SILICON MODIFIES LEAF NUTRIOME AND IMPROVES GROWTH OF OAK SEEDLINGS EXPOSED TO PHOSPHORUS DEFICIENCY AND PHYTOPHTHORA PLURIVORA INFECTION

Silicon modifies leaf nutriome and improves growth of oak seedlings exposed to phosphorus deficiency and Phytophthora plurivora infection

Beneficial effects of silicon (Si) on plants have primarily been studied in crop species under single stress.Moreover, nutrient acquisition-based responses to combination of biotic and abiotic stresses (a common situation in natural habitats) have rarely been reported, in particular in conjunction with soil amendments with Si.Pedunculate oak (Querc
