Abstract excerpt
Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] has been receiving attention as a feedstock for lignocellulose biomass energy. During the combustion process, ash-containing silicon (Si) can be produced, which causes problems in furnace maintenance. Hence, lowering Si content in plants is crucial. However, limiting Si supply to crops is difficult in practice because Si is abundant in the soil. Previously, an Si uptake...
