Silicon‐mediated resistance of sugarcane to Eldana saccharina Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae): effects of silicon source and cultivar (2006, background): “…in the epidermal layers of the leaf sheath and blades to form a cuticle–silica double layer (Ma and Takahashi 2002); however, it is also deposited in many other tissues, including the vascular tissues and others associated with protection, storage, support and strengthening (Sangster et al. 2001).”
Effect of root and foliar applications of soluble silicon on powdery mildew control and growth of wheat plants (2007, unknown): “On the adaxial leaf surface, Si will appear along the trichomes, sclerenchyma and silica cells while also being largely present in the apoplast (Sangster et al. 2001).”
Superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic plant surfaces: an inspiration for biomimetic materials (2009, unknown): “Silicon (Si) is a bioactive element associated with beneficial effects on mechanical and physiological properties of plants (Sangster et al. 2001).”
The controversies of silicon's role in plant biology. (2018, background): “…Trustwww.newphytologist.com of Si is found polymerized in the apoplast (e.g. around exodermal and endodermal root cells and leaf epidermal cells; Sangster et al., 2001; Gong et al., 2006), and cell wall constituents, such as (hemi)cellulose, callose, pectin and lignin, have been demonstrated…”
