Defense Responses Induced by Soluble Silicon in Cucumber Roots Infected by Pythium spp.
Abstract
The role of silicon (Si) in plant growth was investigated on the basis of induction of defense mechanisms in response to fungal attacks. Amendment of cucumber plants with soluble Si (Si+) resulted in a marked stimulation of chitinase activity and in a more intense and rapid activation of peroxidases and polyphenoloxidases after infection with Pythium spp. Additionally, glycosidically bound phenolics extracted from Si+ plants and subjected to acid or β-glucosidase hydrolysis (Gly extracts) displayed a strong fungistatic activity against P. ultimum, P. aphanidermatum, and Cladosporium cucumerinum. Extracts obtained in the same way from control plants were not inhibitory to fungal growth, regardless of Si treatment [...]

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
