Abstract
concentration (Ci)], and activity of antioxidative enzymes including superoxide dismutase and catalase in salt stress. Foliar application of Si-NPs in tomato plants appears to be more effective over root dipping and alleviates the salt stress by increasing the plant's antioxidant enzyme activity.
