Journal ArticleDOI
Silicon uptake and accumulation in higher plants
Jian Feng Ma,Naoki Yamaji +1 more
TL;DR: Genetically manipulating the Si uptake capacity of the root might help plants to accumulate more Si and, hence, improve their ability to overcome biotic and abiotic stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI
A silicon transporter in rice
Jian Feng Ma,Kazunori Tamai,Naoki Yamaji,Namiki Mitani,Saeko Konishi,Maki Katsuhara,Masaji Ishiguro,Yoshiko Murata,Masahiro Yano +8 more
TL;DR: The identification of a silicon transporter provides both an insight into the silicon uptake system in plants, and a new strategy for producing crops with high resistance to multiple stresses by genetic modification of the root's silicon uptake capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aluminium tolerance in plants and the complexing role of organic acids
TL;DR: A range of plant species has evolved mechanisms that enable them to grow on acid soils where toxic concentrations of Al(3+) can limit plant growth, and organic acids play a central role in these aluminium tolerance mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transporters of arsenite in rice and their role in arsenic accumulation in rice grain
Jian Feng Ma,Naoki Yamaji,Namiki Mitani,Xiao-Yan Xu,Yu-Hong Su,Steve P. McGrath,Fang-Jie Zhao +6 more
TL;DR: It is reported that two different types of transporters mediate transport of arsenite, the predominant form of arsenic in paddy soil, from the external medium to the xylem, which explains why rice is efficient in arsenic accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of silicon in enhancing the resistance of plants to biotic and abiotic stresses
TL;DR: The role of Si in conferring resistance to mutiple stresses is described and genetic modification of the root ability to take up Si has been proposed to obtain plants resistant to multiple stresses.
