Nanosilica increases tolerance to Cu toxicity in soybean seeds by reducing Cu uptake and improving nitrogen use efficiency

The treatment of soybean seeds with copper (Cu) can induce toxicity in seedlings depending on the applied dose and seed storage time after treatment. Silicon (Si) has the potential to mitigate Cu toxicity; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study pr...
