TL;DR: Investigation of how Si ameliorates Fe deficiency in cucumber with focus on the storage and utilization of Fe in the root apoplast indicates that Si-mediated alleviation of Fe deficiency includes an increase of the apoplastic Fe pool in roots and an enhancement of Fe acquisition.

TL;DR: Results indicate that Si contributes indirectly to a decrease in ·OH in the leaf apoplast by decreasing the free apoplastic Mn(2+), thus regulating the Fenton reaction in vitro.

TL;DR: In this article, Cucumis sativus L. cv. was grown in nutrient solution with increasing manganese (Mn) concentrations (0.5, 50, and 100 µM) with (+Si) or without silicon (−Si) supplied as silicic acid at 1.5 mM.

TL;DR: In this paper, the content of soluble, free forms of phenolic compounds (total phenolics, flavonoids, PVPP (polyvinylpolypyrrolidone) bound phenolic, proanthocyanidins and phenolic acids), as well as content of carotenoids and tocopherols, were determined in whole grains of bread and durum wheat, rye, hullless barley and hull-less oat, each represented with four genotypes.

TL;DR: Results confirmed BC-DHP composite as a promising hydrogel for wounds healing as a dose-dependent interaction of DHP with BC, which resulted in a decrease of the pore number and size in the cellulose membrane.
