Abstract excerpt
Gramineous plants take up silicon (Si) that enhances the formation of exodermal Casparian bands (CBs) in the roots of rice (Oryza sativa L.). Furthermore, it is known that Si supply reduces the concentration of Fe in rice shoots. We hypothesized that the Si-enhanced CB formation in the exodermis reduces in the flux of Fe in the apoplast and the uptake of Fe loaded deoxymugineic acid. Thus, the effect of silicic...
