Alleviation of Copper Toxicity in Arabidopsis thaliana by Silicon Addition to Hydroponic Solutions (2008, unknown): “PAL activity was measured by the method described in Liang et al. (2005) with some modifications.”
Silicon-enhanced resistance to rice blast is attributed to silicon-mediated defence resistance and its role as physical barrier (2010, background): “Furthermore, there is increasing evidence showing that Si is associated with host defence responses (Rodrigues et al. 2004, 2005; Liang et al. 2005).”
Foliar application of potassium silicate reduces the intensity of soybean rust (2009, unknown): “Liang et al. (2005) reported that foliar application of Si gave a satisfactory control of powdery mildew in cucumber.”
Effect of root and foliar applications of soluble silicon on powdery mildew control and growth of wheat plants (2007, unknown): “Liang et al. (2005), suggested that disease reduction caused by foliar sprays of potassium silicate was the result of an osmotic effect on spores germinating at the leaf surface.”
Effect of Foliar Application of Silicon on Yield and Quality of Rice (Oryza Sativa L) (2013, background): “Plant tissue analysis has revealed the optimum amount of silicon is necessary for cell development and differentiation (Liang et al., 2005).”
