From: Silicon mitigates nutritional stress in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.)
(a) Green color index (GCI), (b) chlorophyll a + b, and (c) carotenoids of quinoa plants in a Hoagland solution (Hoagland and Arnon23) under omission of macronutrients in the absence (− Si) and presence of silicon (+ Si). Equal lowercase letters demonstrate a similarity between the omitted and complete treatments by Tukey’s test at 5% probability. Equal uppercase letters show a similarity between treatments (− Si and + Si) by Tukey’s test at 5% probability. Software used to create this Figure was Microsoft Excel (v1804, https://www.microsoft.com).
