Effect of silicon solubilizers on silica transportation, induced pest and disease resistance in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
2008-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Promoter or carrier-induced silicon transportation into rice (Oryza sativa L.) in relation to yellow stem borer, Scirpophaga incertulas (Walker) and blast (Pyricularia grisea) disease resistance has been investigated. Simple amino acids, such as histidine, imidazole, glutamic acid, glycine and glutamine significantly enhanced the levels of Si(OH)₄ in the stem and 14-18% silicon transport into the leaf surface, as...
