Possible Interaction: Manganese and Silicon

“ Silicon deprivation also decreased femoral calcium, copper, potassium, and zinc concentrations, but increased the femoral manganese concentration.”

“Vertebral concentrations of phosphorus, sodium, potassium, copper, manganese , and zinc were decreased by silicon deprivation.”

“The addition of Si affected the absorption of other metal elements in rice seedlings, including calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and manganese (Mn).”

“Experimentally, we confirm the self-inhibition effect of Mn incorporation in nanoscaled silicon , as no metal atoms can be found in the body of silicon (below 1017 atoms per cm−3) by careful three-dimensional atomic mappings using highly focused ultraviolet-laser-assisted atom-probe tomography.”

“The addition of Si under normal conditions decreased the concentration of sugars in the roots, K and Mn in roots, and increased the concentration of Fe and Zn in shoots.”

“ Si improved the response of both species to Mn supply.”

“A slight decrease in grain Ca, P, S, and Mn was also observed with increasing Si treatment.”

“The experimental results show that manganese ions can make SEI film rapidly grow on silicon anode, and make SEI film more brittle, which results in silicon anode lower Coulombic efficiency and rapid decline of capacity.”

“Unexpectedly, μ-XRF analysis revealed that 1.4 mM Si in solution decreased Mn toxicity symptoms through increased Mn localization in leaf tissues.”

“We conclude that Si increases localized apoplastic sorption of Mn in cowpea, soybean and sunflower leaves thereby decreasing free Mn2+ accumulation in the apoplast or cytoplasm.”

“In a soil–free culture system without external nutrient supply, Si significantly reduced large leaching losses of Zn and Mn from germinating seeds exposed to low-temperature stress.”

“ Silicon influenced Mn and Cu distribution in root.”
