Abstract
Research in Canada on the significance of silicon (Si) to higher plants has focused on four main areas: 1) the nature and location of Si deposition in organs and cells of higher plants, 2) the chemistry of Si in biological systems, 3) the role of Si in plant-fungal pathogen interactions and 4) the use of diatomaceous earth and silica aerogels to control insects in post-harvest products. All four provide new and important information which improves our understanding and perhaps, exploitation of Si in agriculture.
