Silcon influences cytological and molecular events in compatible and incompatible rice-Magnaporthe grisea interactions
2005-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Many monocot plants grown in soils amended with silicon (Si) exhibit increased levels of resistance to fungal diseases. Silicon-mediated resistance to rice blast disease, caused by Magnaporthe grisea, has been hypothesized to be the result of a mechanical barrier produced from Si polymerization in planta. The present study examined the cytological and molecular influences of Si amendment during genetically defined...
