“…Silicon is taken up by terrestrial plants from soil solution as uncharged monosilicic acid (H 4 SiO 0 4 ), transported into the xylem (Casey et al, 2003) and mainly deposited in transpiration sites where polymerization of hydrated amorphous silica occurs to form phytoliths (SiO 2 nH 2 O; BSi) Handreck, 1965, 1967;Raven, 1983;Sangster and Hodson, 1986). SiO 2 precipitation occurs mainly in epidermis of shoots but can also occur in the vascular system and endodermis of roots (Raven, 1983;Lux et al, 2003a, b).…”

“…The highest reported BSi concentrations are $15-17% dry weight, although the average for land plants is probably $1-3% (Conley, 2002;Street-Perrott and Barker, 2008). Ecologically important Si-accumulator plants include grasses and sedges, many rainforest hardwoods, palms, some temperate deciduous trees and a few conifers (Sangster and Hodson, 1986;Hodson and Sangster, 1999;Hodson et al, 2005). Si uptake by terrestrial ecosystems is particularly high in tropical rainforests, mesic grasslands (including bamboo forests), herbaceous wetlands and some deciduous forests (Street-Perrott and Barker, 2008), where it rivals the fluxes of recognised macronutrients such as Ca (Markewitz and Richter, 1998).…”

“…While Arabidopsis trichomes contain relatively little silica, trichomes of species such as 308 nettle (Urtica dioica) are well known for their silicified cell wall (Sangster and Hodson, 2007). 309…”
