Contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, phosphate–solubilizing bacteria, and silicon to P uptake by plant
Phosphorus (P) availability is usually low in soils around the globe. Most soils have a
deficiency of available P; if they are not fertilized, they will not be able to satisfy the P …

Silicon mitigates biotic stresses in crop plants: A review
Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the lithosphere. Soils commonly contain
as much as 30% Si, the majority of which is found in minerals and rocks. In plants, the …

Improving phosphorus availability to rice through silicon management in paddy soils: A review of the role of silicate-solubilizing bacteria
Rice needs a lot of phosphorus (P) to grow, but much of the P fertilizers applied to paddy
soils becomes unavailable to the plants. Silicon (Si) amendments can increase P availability …

Interaction between silicon cycling and straw decomposition in a silicon deficient rice production system
Background and aims Rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) contain large quantities of silicon (Si) in
form of phytoliths, which increase their resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. The Si cycle …
