Interactive Role of Silicon and Phenolics in Biotic Stress Regulation in Plants and Expression of Phenylpropanoid Pathway Genes

Because of the multiple benefits of silicon (Si) and phenolics to plants, experts are very interested in their application in agriculture. The usage of silicon and phenolics has lowered the severity of various ailments in commercially significant crops. In this study, the association between silicon and phenolics in reducing biotic stress was examined. The current analysis emphasizes the role silicon and phenolics in reducing biotic stress in various plants, as well as the regulation of phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway. By combining the information, as stated in this study, a deeper understanding of the association between phenolics and silicon treatments has improved plant resistance, and a reduction in the severity of fungal infections could be achieved.
