Silica in plants: biological, biochemical and chemical studies. (2007, background): “However, there is debate as to whether this increased strength is sufficient to explain the protective effects observed (Fauteux et al., 2005).”
Silicon induced resistance against powdery mildew of roses caused by Podosphaera pannosa (2012, background): “Si has been thought to protect through mechanical strengthening of the plant (Fauteux et al., 2005).”
Silicon impedes stalk penetration by the borer Eldana saccharina in sugarcane (2007, background): “…of evidence supporting the ameliorating effects of Si in defence against plant pathogens and insect herbivores (Ma, 2004; Hammerschmidt, 2005), the underlying mechanisms of Si-mediated resistance remain controversial for pathogens (see Fauteux et al., 2005) and poorly explored for insects.”
Beneficial elements for agricultural crops and their functional relevance in defence against stresses (2016, background): “Fauteux et al. (2005) reported that when Si4+ invariably accumulates in plants, it is only the soluble forms of Si4+ within plants that can provide the SAR defence response, while the polymerized form of Si4+ is almost inert.”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “Silicon is known to increase the tolerance against both abiotic and biotic stresses in many plant species and it is the only nutrient which is not detrimental when collected in excess (Epstein, 1994; Fauteux et al., 2005; Ma and Yamaji, 2006).”
Mechanisms of Enhanced Heavy Metal Tolerance in Plants by Silicon： A Review (2013, background): “What’s more, Si can mitigate multifarious biotic and abiotic stresses (Gong et al., 2004; Fauteux et al., 2005; Liang et al., 2007).”
