Mobility and deposition of silicon in cucumber plants
Abstract
Abstract. The mobility and deposition of silicon (Si) in cucumber plants grown in hydroponic culture were studied using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X‐ray analysis under conditions of powdery mildew fungus infection. Following transfer to Si containing media, plants grown in the absence of Si showed rapid silicification of leafy tissue, primarily in the trichome bases. These plants also exhibited increased disease resistance to Sphaerotheca fuliginea (Schlecht.:Fr.) Poll, and concentration of Si in the leaf epidermis surrounding the invading pathogen. Plants grown in Si‐supplemented media and transferred into Si‐deficient media contained residual Si in the leaf trichome bases, but failed to display disease resistance or silicification of host tissue surrounding the invading pathogen.

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.
