Silicon Uptake and Localisation in Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera) – A Unique Association With Sclerenchyma

Silicon Uptake and Localisation in Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera) – A Unique Association With Sclerenchyma

Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) can accumulate as much as 1% silicon (Si), but not much is known about the mechanisms inherent to this process. Here, we investigated in detail the uptake, accumulation and distribution of Si in date palms, and the phylogeny of Si transporter genes in plants. We chara...
