Silicon amendment to rice plants contributes to reduced feeding in a phloem‐sucking insect through modulation of callose deposition
Abstract Silicon (Si) uptake by Poaceae plants has beneficial effects on herbivore defense. Increased plant physical barrier and altered herbivorous feeding behaviors are documented to reduce herbivorous arthropod feeding and contribute to enhanced plant defense. Here, we show that Si amendment to r...
