Possible Interaction: Phosphorus and Silicon

“A marked accumulation of silicon and phosphorus was found in both cases.”

“Besides, the treatment with genistein and silicon for 10 weeks increased the serum levels of calcium and phosphorus in the OVX rats; serum calcium and serum phosphorus in the OVX-GEN-Si group were higher than those in the OVX-GEN and OVX-Si group (P < 0.05).”

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

“Due to the synergistic flame-retardant effect of silicon and phosphorus elements , this polymer electrolyte exhibits excellent thermal stability and flame resistance.”

“The combined application of MU2, silicon , and phosphorus significantly improved silicon and phosphorus uptake, reduced Na+ ion influx by 70%, and enhanced K+ uptake by 46% in the shoots of soybean plants grown under salt-stress conditions.”

“In agreement with marine studies, silicon availabilities were significantly positive correlated to phosphorus mobilization in these soils.”

“Laboratory experiments confirmed that silicon addition significantly increases phosphorus mobilization, by mobilizing Fe(II)-P phases from mineral surfaces.”

“ Silicon addition increased also soil respiration in phosphorus deficient soils.”

“We conclude that silicon is a key component regulating mobilization of phosphorous in Arctic soils, suggesting that this may also be important for sustainable management of phosphorus availability in soils in general.”

“Carbon (C) and phosphorus (P) status of plants were altered in response to varying Si supply.”

“Introducing phosphorus or boron dopants during the silicon epitaxy further decreases the growth rates and, for phosphorus, gives rise to a critical layer thickness for single crystalline epitaxial growth.”

“Bulkier groups at silicon and phosphorus slow down the reaction substantially.”
