Description
Marija Polić Pasković and three co-authors review plant research in this 2026 article. Their topic is silicon used together with one of four other elements: selenium, sulphur, zinc, or iron. Past reviews treated each pair on its own, so the authors compare all four pairs side by side in one place.
Across studies, the pairs helped plants hold a safe balance of reactive oxygen, keep green leaf function, and take up nutrients well. Silicon with selenium or iron helped most under heavy metal stress. Silicon with sulphur or zinc helped most in drought, salt, or poor soils. The authors note that most work comes from pots and glasshouses, so firm field trials are still needed.
