“…Silicon application has been observed to enhance tolerance of many stressors such as drought, and alkaline conditions (Abdel Latef and Tran 2016;Ma et al 2016). Silicon is the second most abundant element on earth and plays an important role in stress tolerance, flowering and fruit quality (Dehghanipoodeh et al 2016;Kim et al 2017). Furthermore, Si is involved in cell wall reinforcement due to deposition of Si in epidermal cells to form a barrier (Trenholm et al 2004;Romero-Aranda et al 2006).…”

Silicon nutrition counteracts salt-induced damage associated with changes in biochemical responses in apple

Salt stress is an environmental challenge that adversely influences plant responses. Silicon (Si) nutrition plays critical roles in plant tolerance to salt stress. Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.), a salt sensitive fruit species, was used in the present experiment to investigate the influences of Si on salt stress as well as on alterations of biochemical responses. Apple cv Fuji grafted on M9 clonal rootstock was exposed to salt stress for 4 months with 35 mmol•L-1 NaCl. CaSiO 3 doses (0.5, 1 and 2 mmol•L-1) were applied to the roots of the salt-stressed apple plants except control. Si application resulted in mitigation of salt stress in apple plants. The highest chlorophyll a, b and a + b were obtained from the 1 mmol•L-1 Si treatment (5.37, 2.41 and 7.78 µg•g-1 fw, respectively). Moreover, Si treatment had higher chlorophyll content compared to the control as well as salt exposed plants. Silicon applications led to a reduction in malondialdehyde (MDA) content even lower than control. The 0.5 mmol•L-1 Si treatment had the highest values of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and phenolic content. The results show that Si nutrition plays important roles in apple salt tolerance via biochemical mechanisms and that it can be used in areas subject to salt stress for apple growing.

“…Nanofertilizers (NFs) are widely used in fruit crop nutrition as soil‐based and spray‐based applications that provide nutrients with high efficiency and low waste due to their faster and higher translocation to different parts of plants . After penetrating the leaf or root cuticle tissue, NFs move through different pathways (apoplastic, symplastic, lipophilic and hydrophilic), which influence their effectiveness, final fate and may also change their properties and therefore their reactivity, delivery and translocation inside plant tissues, which may result in various responses of different plant parts to the same NP …”

“…Fruits with nanopacking involve chitosan/nano‐silica and nano‐TiO 2 ‐LDPE (titanium dioxide–low‐density polyethylene), which have shown better physiochemical, physiological and preservation properties than those with normal packaging. Nanotechnology also plays important roles in increasing and improving plant growth by fertilization with essential nutrients, development, productivity, and quality of products derived from strawberry, mango, pomegranate and date palm and decreasing the harmful effects of stress caused by abiotic factors such as salinity in strawberry and alkalinity in grape . Moreover, fruit trees that received NFs were more vigorous and can overcome abiotic stress and maintain their fruit quality.…”

Nanotechnology is currently being widely employed in agriculture and horticulture. The most widely investigated and developed factor related to fruit trees is nanofertilizers (NFs), which play very important roles in increasing vegetative growth, improving reproductive growth and flowering, thereby increasing productivity, product quality and ultimately increasing shelf-life and decreasing fruit waste. These nanomaterials, which are generally sprayed at low concentrations on trees at different time intervals and in frequent sessions, are also considered as growth stimulants. Macro-and micro-scale NFs such as zinc, boron, chitosan, and fertilizer nanocomposites such as ZnFeMnB (zinc, iron, manganese, boron), NPKMg (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium), and calcite have been shown to significantly improve the vegetative and reproductive traits of fruit trees such as pomegranate, strawberry, mango, date, coffee and grape. Knowledge on the effects of NFs on fruit trees and biological reasons for their effects on different traits is incomplete and there is an urgent need for extensive research on these topics.

“…In addition, Abduljabbar and Mohammed (2010) and Fekry (2016) on summer squash, as well as , Kazemi (2013) and Shafeek et al (2013) on cucumber reported that potassium foliar application increased the number of pistillate flowers, as well as yield and fruit quality. Furthermore, many recearchers studied the effect of spraying potassium silicate on different vegetable crops among them Dehghanipoodeh et al (2016) who found that potassium silicate enhaced flowering in strawberry. El-Bassiony et al (2010) and Atress and Rashid, (2016) on sweet pepper, Rakha, (2014) and Hussein and Muhammed, (2017) on eggplant and Merwad, (2018) on pea mentioned that foliar spray plants with potassium silicate increased yield and its components, as well as fruit quality.…”

This investigation was conducted at the Experimental Farm, Fac. Tech. and Develop. (Gazala region -Zagazig), Zagazig Univ., Sharkia Governorate under open field during the two fallwinter seasons of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017, to study the effect of three cultivars of squash ( Eskandarany, Revera and Azyad) and foliar spray treatments with, yeast extract at the rate of 3 and 6gl -1 ,as well as potassium silicate at the rate of 2 and 4gl -1 plus control (tap water)and their interactions on flowering expression, i.e., number of male and female flowers plant -1 , sex ratio and femalness percentage, yield and its components (number of fruits plant -1 , fruit fresh weight, and dry matter percentage, total fruit yield plot -1 and relative yield), as well as fruit quality, i.e., fruit physical characters (both of fruit length and diameter) and fruit chemical composition (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content, protein and total carbohydrates percentage). Results showed the superiority of the two tested cultivars Azyad and Revera at all studied characteristics compared with Eskandarany cv. Spraying with yeast extract or potassium silicate significantly increased most parameters of flowering, fruit yield and quality attributes of squash than control treatment . Moreover, spraying plants with potassium silicate at rate of 4gl -1 or yeast extract at 6gl -1 significantly surpassed compared with the other foliar treatments and control in this respect. The best results of the interaction treatments for flowering, yield and fruit parameters were recorded by the two cultivars Azyad or Revera combined with the foliar 434 SALAMA et al.spray by 4gl -1 of potassium silicate or 6gl -1 of yeast extract which recorded increased in most of all the mentioned studied parameters.Hence, each of these treatments could be recommended for enhancement flowering, yield and fruit quality of squash plants with low cost production when planted in open field at fallwinter season under the same conditions of this experiment.
