Figure 1. The uptake and distribution of Si from soil through to the deposition in silicified cell walls and silica bodies in wheat. LSi 1, LSi 2 and LSi 6 denote genes that condition Si influx and efflux transporters, Si (OH)4 = orthosilicic acid. Source: Adapted from Farooq and Dietz, (Citation2015).
