Silicon-enhanced non-enzymatic antioxidant defense mechanisms in young orange trees under glyphosate-induced stress
Si application effectively mitigates glyphosate-induced oxidative stress in young orange trees by enhancing non-enzymatic antioxidant defenses, particularly carotenoids and phenolic compounds, while lowering MDA levels. These findings suggest Si as a sustainable strategy to improve herbicide tolerance and strengthen the citrus tree resilience.
