Rapid, Micro-Methods to Estimate Plant Silicon Content by Dilute Hydrofluoric Acid Extraction and Spectrometric Molybdenum Method

Abstract: By treating 0.5 g DW of a plant sample directly with 10 ml of a dilute hydrofluoric acid solution (HF solution, 1.5 M HF—0.6 M HCl), all the silica in plant (as much as 150 mg SiO2) was dissolved within 1 h. After dilution of the extract with 40 mL of distilled water, the silica in the extract was measured by the spectrometric molybdenum yellow method. The molybdenum yellow method, in which silica in 0.1 mL of the diluted extract can be determined in 8 min, is well suited to rapid, micro‐estimations of the sil… Show more

“…The total N concentration of the rice straw was determined using the same method as that used for soil analysis. The Si concentration of the straw, RC, and RH was determined using gravimetric analysis, as described by Saito et al (2005). The rice straw from the 2nd year's harvest, RC, and RH were digested in a mixture of sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in order to measure potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) concentrations using an atomic absorption photometer (Z-2300; Hitachi High-Technologies Corp., Tokyo, Japan).…”

“…The N content was determined using an NC analyzer (Sumigraph NC-220F; Sumika Chemical Analysis Service, Osaka Japan). Si was solubilized using dilute hydrofluoric acid extraction, and determined using the molybdenum colorimetric method 16 . The concentrations of P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Zn, and Cu were determined using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) (ICPE-9000; Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan), after digestion with a mixture of nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide using a microwave digester (MlS 1200 mega; Milestone, Sorisole, Italy).…”

“…The rice seedlings grown in the presence of 5 mM silicon contained higher content of silicon (12 mg/g) than the control (2 mg/g). The silicon contained in the control originates from the seed which was reported to contain a significant amount of silicon 16,23 . More than 80% of silicon present in rice seedlings are localized in AIR fractions.…”
