Structure and function of a silicic acid channel Lsi1 [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Silicon is a beneficial element for plant growth and production, especially in rice. Plant roots take up silicon in the form of silicic acid. Silicic acid channels, which belong to the NIP subfamily of aquaporins, are responsible for silicic acid uptake.
