Effects of Silicon on Growth of Wheat Under Drought (2003, background): “Studies have shown that Si promotes the growth of plants.([6,7]) In many cases the growth stimulation is due to the protection that Si affords plants against the detrimental effects of abiotic and biotic stresses.”
Role of nutrients in controlling plant diseases in sustainable agriculture. A review (2011, unknown): “, Pyricularia grisea (Cooke sacc) and Blumeria graminis (DC) (Carver et al., 1998; Savant et al., 1997; Alvarez and Datnoff, 2001; Seebold et al., 2000, 2004; Zhang et al., 2006) The mechanism by which Si confers disease suppression is not well understood.”
Impact of rice cultivar and organ on elemental composition of phytoliths and the release of bio-available silicon (2014, methodology): “ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE published: 10 October 2014 doi: 10.3389/fpls.2014.00529 Impact of rice cultivar and organ on elemental composition of phytoliths and the release of bio-available silicon”
Silicon mitigates cadmium inhibitory effects in young maize plants. (2009, result): “, 1997; Alvarez and Datnoff, 2001; Guo et al., 2006). Moreover we may conclude, in agreement with Epstein (1999), that the cultivation of Si accumulating plants in conventional nutrient solutions without Si is not optimal, because such plants are structurally weaker than Si-replete plants.”
