• The controversies of silicon's role in plant biology. (2018, background): “As discussed here, the concept that Si(OH)4 in planta, as a minor unpolymerized fraction, could play a cellular role was first suggested by Fawe et al. (2001), invoking the role of a secondary messenger inducing defense responses.”
• Silicon-enhanced resistance to rice blast is attributed to silicon-mediated defence resistance and its role as physical barrier (2010, background): “In rice, a Si-accumulating plant species, Si is mainly located in epidermal cell walls, mid lamellae and the intercellular spaces of sub-epidermal tissues (Kim et al. 2002), and has furthermore been reported as an important component of papillae (Fawe et al. 2001).”
• Effect of root and foliar applications of soluble silicon on powdery mildew control and growth of wheat plants (2007, unknown): “The ability of soluble silicon (Si) to reduce the impact of plant diseases has been amply described in the case of powdery mildews and rice blast (Magnaporthe grisea) (Bélanger et al. 1995; Fawe et al. 2001; Rodrigues et al. 2003; Kim et al. 2002).”
• Effects of foliar- and root-applied silicon on the enhancement of induced resistance to powdery mildew in Cucumis sativus (2005, background): “…of soluble Si in cucumber–pathogen interactions via root uptake of Si appears to be active, presumably as a signal for inducing defence reactions (Fawe et al., 2001), and this Si-enhanced resistance is mediated through an unknown mechanism, while increased activity of PRs is consequently…”
• Silicon impedes stalk penetration by the borer Eldana saccharina in sugarcane (2007, background): “There also is increasing evidence of an active role for soluble Si, particularly for fungal pathogens, whereby Si mediates active localized cell defences against fungal attack (e.g., Fawe et al., 2001; Belanger et al., 2003).”
• Influence of silicon on growth, yield, and lodging resistance of MR219, a lowland rice of Malaysia (2017, background): “Si has been shown to alleviate biotic and abiotic stresses by providing resistance to bacterial and fungal diseases (Fawe et al., 2001; Voogt and Sonneveld, 2001), low temperatures (Epstein, 1999, 2001), salinity (Hamayun et al., 2010; Lee et al., 2010), heavy metal toxicity (Liang, Wong, and Wei,…”
