Journal ArticleDOI
Silicon and Plants: Current Knowledge and Technological Perspectives.
TL;DR: The study provides perspectives on the use of Si to increase the yield of fiber crops and to improve the thermal stability and tensile strength of natural fibers and to modify/improve the physical parameters of plant fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactive oxygen species and heavy metal stress in plants: Impact on the cell wall and secondary metabolism
Roberto Berni,Roberto Berni,Marie Luyckx,Xuan Xu,Sylvain Legay,Kjell Sergeant,Jean-Francois Hausman,Stanley Lutts,Giampiero Cai,Gea Guerriero +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of heavy metal-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) on plant cell wall-related processes and the stimulatory/inhibitory effects of ROS on plant secondary metabolism were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Silicon in Plant Biomass Production: Focus on Bast Fibres, Hypotheses, and Perspectives
TL;DR: The beneficial effect of Si under heavy metal stress is demonstrated, by showing an increase in the leaf fresh weight under growth on Cd 20 µM and an action on the endogenous phytohormone levels and a mechanical role involved in the resistance to the turgor pressure during elongation is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of cadmium and zinc on proteins and cell wall-related gene expression in young stems of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) and influence of exogenous silicon
TL;DR: Diameter of bast fibre increased in response to Si in Cd- treated plants, confirming that the presence of protecting Si confers a specific physiological status in relation to cell wall differentiation to heavy metal-treated plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silicon reduces cadmium absorption and increases root-to-shoot translocation without impacting growth in young plants of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) on a short-term basis
TL;DR: In this article, the short-term impact of silicon (Si), a well-known beneficial element, on plants exposed to 20 μM cadmium (Cd) in nutrient solution was evaluated.
