Abstract excerpt
Agricultural productivity relies on plant resistance to insect pests, with silicon (Si) being increasingly recognized as an important anti-herbivore defense. However, the processes by which Si works to counteract the effects of insect injury are not completely understood. The role of Si in mitigating the adverse effects of herbivory has been mostly studied at the species level in various crops, ignoring the...
