Silicon and plant disease resistance against pathogenic fungi. (2005, methodology): “[46] proposed the use of the Arabidopsis–powdery mildew interaction, by showing that this model plant reacted to powdery mildew as other dicots and monocots did under Si treatment (Fig.”
Silicon induced resistance against powdery mildew of roses caused by Podosphaera pannosa (2012, background): “, 2007) and has been observed as a uniform pattern in Si+ leaves with the strongest deposition on and around trichomes (Samuels et al., 1991; Ghanmi et al., 2004).”
Physiological functions of beneficial elements. (2009, unknown): “The other is that Si may act locally as a signal in triggering natural defence responses in both dicots and monocots, by stimulating the activity of such enzymes as chitinases, peroxidases, polyphenol oxidases, and/or by increasing the production of phenolic compounds, phytoalexins, antimicrobial co”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, unknown): “Silicon treatment also protects Arabidopsis from powdery mildew (Erysiphe cichoracearum) due to the accumulation of fungitoxic phenolic compounds and silica depositions at the site of infection (Ghanmi et al., 2004; Fauteux et al., 2005).”
