Silicon (Si) being considered as a non-essential element for plant growth and development
finds its role in providing several benefits to the plant, especially under stress conditions …

Silicon (Si) is the most copious element of existence in the lithosphere but still it has not
been added into the essential element list. The imperative role of Si in triggering growth and …

Silicon has generally not been considered essential for plant growth, although it is well
recognized that many plants, particularly Poaceae, have substantial plant tissue …

Our current understanding of silicon (Si) availability in agricultural soils is reviewed and
knowledge gaps are highlighted. Silicon is a beneficial rather than essential plant nutrient …

Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the lithosphere. Soils commonly contain
as much as 30% Si, the majority of which is found in minerals and rocks. In plants, the …

Silicon (Si) is one of the most abundant elements in the earth's crust, although its essentiality
in plant growth is not clearly established. However, the importance of Si as an element that …

This paper reviews the most recent progress in exploring silicon-mediated resistance to
herbivorous insects and the mechanisms involved. The aim is to determine whether any …

Although silicon occurs in all plants, it is an element that is largely overlooked by many plant
ecologists and most plant-related research on silicon comes from agronomy, archaeology …

In the era of climate change, due to increased incidences of a wide range of various
environmental stresses, especially biotic and abiotic stresses around the globe, the …

Whiteflies (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) comprise tiny phloem-sucking insects. The sessile
development of their immatures and their phloem-feeding habits (with minimal physical plant …
