Metalloid transporters in plants: bridging the gap in molecular structure and physiological exaptation
The rhizosphere contains both essential nutrients and potentially harmful substances for
plant growth. Plants, as sessile organisms, must efficiently absorb the necessary nutrients …

Silicon, a quasi-essential element: Availability in soil, fertilizer regime, optimum dosage, and uptake in plants
The essentiality of silicon (Si) has always been a matter of debate as it is not considered
crucial for the lifecycles of most plants. But beneficial effects of endogenous Si and its …
