Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Silicon supply increased wheat leaf silicon content by 90.5%.
- Intervention effect Calcium content did not significantly differ between silicon treatments.
- Intervention effect Silicon supply decreased the area under the spot blotch progress curve by 62%.
- Intervention effect Silicon supply decreased lesions per cm2 of leaf area by 36%.
- Intervention effect Silicon supply decreased real disease severity by 43.5%.
- Intervention effect Silicon had no significant effect on lesion size.
- Association The role of soluble phenolics in silicon-associated resistance was unclear.
- Observation Silicon-supplied BR-18 plants had the highest lignin-thioglycolic acid derivative concentrations at advanced infection stages.
- Observation Chitinase activity was high in silicon-supplied leaves of both cultivars at advanced infection stages.
- Mechanism Chitinase may have affected fungal growth.
- Observation Peroxidase activity was high only 96 hours after inoculation in silicon-supplied plants.
- Association Polyphenoloxidase activity had no apparent effect on resistance across silicon treatments.
- Recommendation The authors concluded silicon supply can increase wheat resistance to spot blotch.
