• Arsenic uptake and metabolism in plants. (2009, background): “Expression of Lsi1 in Xenopus laevis oocytes and in yeast markedly increased the uptake of arsenite, but not of arsenate.”

• Grasses and the resource availability hypothesis: the importance of silica‐based defences (2007, background): “However, recent work has shown that silica is actively transported into roots in silicon-accumulating plants (Ma et al. 2006), implying a cost associated with its uptake.”
• Plant aquaporins: membrane channels with multiple integrated functions. (2008, background): “Similar to PIPs, some NIPs localize in the plasma membrane (82, 134).”
• The roles of membrane transporters in arsenic uptake, translocation and detoxification in plants (2020, background): “In addition to As(III), NIP aquaporins transport diverse substrates such as silicic acid, boric acid, glycerol, water, lactic acid, urea and formamide (Choi & Roberts, 2007; Ma et al., 2006; Takano et al., 2006; Wallace & Roberts, 2005).”
• Impact of alternate wetting and drying on rice physiology, grain production, and grain quality (2017, background): “This is important in rice as it can accumulate up to 10% of its dry mass as 552 silicon, reflecting the fact that the silicon uptake mechanism is very efficient (Ma et al., 2006).”
• The ecology of herbivore‐induced silicon defences in grasses (2016, background): “…rice, many of the transporters responsible for silicon uptake and distribution within the plant have been identified and their role characterized (Ma et al. 2006; Ma & Yamaji 2006; Ma 2009; Ma & Yamaji 2015; Yamaji et al. 2015), but we still have limited understanding of how the impact of damage…”

(2016, background): “Nodulin 26-like intrinsic proteins and other aquaporins facilitate increased Si uptake in 93 some species, and active uptake occurs through co-operation of influx and efflux transporters (Ma et al. 2006; 94 Ma & Yamaji 2015; Deshmukh & Belanger 2016).”
