Mechanisms of silicon-mediated alleviation of abiotic stresses in higher plants: a review. (2007, background): “Besides rice, other graminaceous plants such as wheat (Van der Vorm, 1980; Jarvis, 1987; Casey et al., 2003), ryegrass (Jarvis, 1987), and barley (Barber and Shone, 1966) and some cyperaceous plants take up Si actively, while certain other Gramineae such as oats take it up passively (Jones and…”
Linking transport system of silicon with its accumulation in different plant species (2020, background): “in the form of silicic acid in the xylem sap in rice and wheat (Mitani, Ma, and Iwashita 2005; Casey et al. 2003), it seems that”
Silicon uptake and accumulation in higher plants. (2006, background): “Chemically, silicic acid polymerizes to form silica gel (SiO2nH2O) when the concentration of silicic acid exceeds 2 mM. However, the concentration of Si in the xylem sap is usually much higher than 2 mM in rice and wheat, even though the major form of Si in the xylem has been identified as monomeric”
Mechanisms of silicon-mediated alleviation of heavy metal toxicity in plants: A review. (2015, background): “Active Si uptake is dominant in many plant species such as rice, maize, sugarcane and wheat (Casey et al., 2003; Rains et al., 2006).”
