The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The ecology of herbivore‐induced silicon defences in grasses (2016, background): “This is because we have a very limited understanding of silicon uptake at the physiological, biochemical and molecular level for most non-crop species (Hartley et al. 2015; though see Deshmukh & Belanger 2016).”
Silicon Compensates Phosphorus Deficit-Induced Growth Inhibition by Improving Photosynthetic Capacity, Antioxidant Potential, and Nutrient Homeostasis in Tomato (2019, background): “In dicotyledonous plants, a Si uptake gene located in aquaporin mediates Si uptake through water [48], suggesting a potential mechanism of Si uptake in tomato plants.”
Consistent alleviation of abiotic stress with silicon addition: a meta-analysis. (2016, methodology): “We did not assign families to specific accumulation groups as there 235 are not yet definitive classifications (Deshmukh & Belanger 2016), but shoot Si content from our database was 236 compared to a larger dataset of Si accumulation for relevant families (Trembath-Reichert et al. 2015) to allow…”
