Grasses (Poaceae) lack the complex biochemical pathways and structural defenses employed by other plant families; instead they deposit microscopic silica (SiO 2) granules in their leaf blades (i.e., phytoliths) as a putative defense strategy.Silica accumulation in grasses has generally been considered an inducible defense; other …Web

Silicon (Si) is a semi-metallic or metalloid, because it has several of the metallic characteristics. Silicon is never found in its natural state, but rather in combination with oxygen as the silicate ion SiO 44- in silica-rich rocks such as obsidian, granite, diorite, and sandstone. Feldspar and quartz are the most significant silicate minerals.Web

Plants can take up Si only in the form of monosilicic acid (H 4 SiO 4) (Exley 1998, Casey et al. 2004). Plants accumulate Si as hydrated silica (SiO 2 ·nH 2 O) in the same order of magnitude as other major elements (Epstein 1994). The ability of plants to take up Si is based on the genetic predeposition to absorb silicic acid.Web
