In the era present, due to increasing incidences of a large number of different biotic and abiotic stresses all over the world, the growth of plants (principal crops) may be restrained by these stresses. In addition to beneficial microorganisms, use of silicon (Si)-fertilizer is known as an ecologically compatible and environmentally friendly technique to stimulate plant growth, alleviate various biotic and abiotic stresses in plants, and enhance the plant resistance to multiple stresses, because Si is not harmful, corrosive, and polluting to plants when presents in excess. Here, we reviewed the action mechanisms by which Si alleviates abiotic and biotic stresses in plants. The use of Si (mostly as industrial slags and rice straw) is predicted to become a sustainable strategy and an emerging trend in agriculture to enhance crop growth and alleviate abiotic and biotic stresses in the not too distant future. In this review article, the future research needs on the use of Si under the conditions of abiotic and biotic stresses are also highlighted.
在当今时代，由于世界各地越来越多的生物和非生物胁迫的发生，植物（主要作物）的生长可能会受到这些胁迫的限制。除了有益的微生物外，硅（Si）肥料的使用被认为是一种生态相容和环保的技术，可以刺激植物生长，减轻植物的各种生物和非生物胁迫，并增强植物对多种胁迫的抗性，因为当 Si 过量存在时，它对植物无害、无腐蚀性、无污染。在这里，我们综述了 Si 缓解植物生物和非生物胁迫的作用机制。预计在不久的将来，硅（主要以工业炉渣和稻草的形式）的使用将成为农业中提高作物生长和缓解生物和非生物胁迫的可持续战略和新兴趋势。在这篇综述文章中，还强调了在生物和非生物胁迫条件下使用 Si 的未来研究需求。
