Understanding Abiotic Stress Tolerance Mechanisms: Recent Studies on Stress Response in Rice (2007, background): “Silicon is beneficial to plant growth and helps plants to overcome biotic and abiotic stresses by improving resistance to pests and diseases, as well as salt and drought stresses (Epstein 1999; Richmond and Sussman 2003; Ma 2004).”
Consistent alleviation of abiotic stress with silicon addition: a meta-analysis. (2016, background): “While the responses and mechanisms of stress alleviation by Si have been 71 qualitatively reviewed (Ma, Miyake & Takahashi 2001; Ma 2004; Liang et al. 2007; Balakhnina & Borkowska 72 2013; Adrees et al. 2015; Pontigo et al. 2015), a numerical assessment is lacking and it is not known if 73…”
Beneficial effects of silicon nutrition in alleviating salinity stress in hydroponically grown canola, Brassica napus L., plants (2010, background): “Silicon nutrition, however, decreased the Na+ concentration in canola shoots under salinity (Table 2), as has been reported in several other plants under saline conditions (Liang et al. 2006; Ma 2004).”
The controversies of silicon's role in plant biology. (2018, background): “In the case of shoot tissues, Si deposition in cuticles has been shown to prevent water loss via evapotranspiration, protecting plants faced with water deficits (Ma et al., 2001; Ma, 2004).”
Silicon‐mediated resistance of sugarcane to Eldana saccharina Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae): effects of silicon source and cultivar (2006, background): “Abundant evidence now exists for the positive association between plant Si content and resistance to pathogens and insect herbivory in monocots and dicots (Epstein 1999; Ma 2004; Laing and Adandonon 2005).”
Effects of silicon and drought stress on tuber yield and leaf biochemical characteristics in potato. (2009, background): “Silicon accumulation in the leaves, and its association with the cuticle, as well as its polymerization in plant tissues may also have contributed to decrease the stalk lodging percentage observed in the present work, since it confers greater mechanical resistance to tissues (Ma, 2004).”
Beneficial elements for agricultural crops and their functional relevance in defence against stresses (2016, background): “The reduction in dry weight of 30-day-old rice seedlings when exposed to different doses of X-rays was less in those treated with Si4+ than those without Si4+ (Ma 2004).”
Uptake system of silicon in different plant species. (2005, background): “Silicon also alleviates the effects of other abiotic stresses including salt stress, metal toxicity, drought stress, radiation damage, nutrient imbalance, high temperature, and freezing (Epstein, 1999; Ma and Tahakashi, 2002; Ma, 2004).”
Silicon amelioration of manganese toxicity in Mn-sensitive and Mn-tolerant maize varieties (2009, background): “he role of Si in plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses as been attributed particularly to modification of cell wall and uticle properties (Epstein, 1994, 1999; Liang et al., 2005; Lux et l., 2002; Ma et al., 2003; Ma, 2004; Raven, 2003).”
Linking transport system of silicon with its accumulation in different plant species (2020, background): “These wide variations in Si accumulation have been attributed to the ability of the roots to take up Si (Ma 2004), which will be discussed later.”
The ecology of herbivore‐induced silicon defences in grasses (2016, methodology): “been put forward over recent years (Raven 1983; Ma 2004; Massey, Ennos & Hartley 2007a; Cooke & Leishman 2011), with one of the earliest suggestions being that sili-”
