Synergistic effects of rhizobacteria and silicon nanoparticles in alleviating drought-induced stress via improved antioxidant and defense responses in plants.
Review in Planta, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
MAIN
conclusionThe combined application of rhizobacteria and Si-NPs enhances plant tolerance to drought by improving antioxidant activity and defense-related responses. Crop plants are often exposed to various environmental stresses during growth and development, especially under field conditions where environmental parameters are less controlled than in laboratory environments. Among these stresses, drought is one of the most detrimental, as it severely impairs photosynthesis, water and nutrient uptake, and overall crop productivity. The use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) offers a promising and sustainable approach to improving plant growth and resilience under drought stress. In addition, their combined application with silicon nanoparticles (Si-NPs) can further enhance these beneficial effects, leading to improved drought tolerance and crop performance. The combined application of PGPR and Si-NPs has been shown to function as an effective biotechnological strategy for improving drought tolerance in plants through multiple mechanisms, including root system modification, phytohormone regulation, osmotic adjustment, and activation of antioxidant defense systems. In addition, their ability to influence phytohormones signaling pathways contributes to improved stomatal regulation and overall plant resilience. This review summarizes the key mechanisms by which PGPR and Si-NPs enhance drought stress tolerance in crops, emphasizing their roles in improving root morphology, osmotic adjustment, photosynthetic efficiency, and antioxidant defense. Careful attention is given to the potential synergistic interaction between PGPR and Si-NPs, in which PGPR-mediated improvements in rhizosphere function, root growth, and hormonal regulation may complement Si-NP-mediated enhancement of water relations, membrane stability, photosynthetic protection, and antioxidant defense. A better understanding of these interactions can contribute to the development of more sustainable and resilient agricultural systems capable of mitigating drought-induced losses.
