Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation SlLsi1 transported silicon in rice mutants and Xenopus oocytes.
- Observation SlLsi1 was constitutively expressed in tomato roots.
- Observation SlLsi1 localized to the plasma membrane of root tips and basal regions without polarity.
- Intervention effect SlLsi1 overexpression raised silicon concentration in tomato roots and root cell sap.
- Intervention effect SlLsi1 overexpression did not alter silicon concentration in tomato shoots.
- Intervention effect Expressing cucumber CsLsi2 in tomato significantly increased silicon uptake.
- Intervention effect Expressing CsLsi2 increased silicon accumulation in tomato leaves.
- Intervention effect Expressing CsLsi2 enhanced tomato leaf tolerance to water deficit and heat.
- Mechanism The authors attribute low tomato silicon accumulation to the lack of a functional Lsi2 efflux transporter.
