Journal ArticleDOI

Root responses to cadmium in the rhizosphere: a review

TL;DR: The development of apoplastic barriers to Cd movement to the xylem is described and recent experiments indicating that their maturation is accelerated by high Cd concentrations in their immediate locality are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Silicon modifies root anatomy, and uptake and subcellular distribution of cadmium in young maize plants

TL;DR: Differences in Cd uptake of roots and shoots are probably related to the development of apoplasmic barriers and maturation of vascular tissues in roots, which might be attributed to enhanced binding of Cd to the apoplasmsic fraction in maize shoots.
Journal ArticleDOI

Silicon mitigates cadmium inhibitory effects in young maize plants.

TL;DR: Alleviation of the Cd-inhibitory effect on maize plants by Si was not due to exclusion of Cd from the plant; in contrast, Cd concentration in below- and above-ground plant parts and the total amount of CD per plant were significantly higher in the C d + Si plants than in theCd treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Silicon Influences Soil Availability and Accumulation of Mineral Nutrients in Various Plant Species

TL;DR: It was concluded that, if plants had been cultivated in soil, Si-maintained increased availability of nutrients in the soil solution would probably compensate for the decrease in tissue concentration of those nutrient elements.
