The prolonged arms race between plants and their antagonists has resulted in the evolution of multiple plant defence mechanisms to combat attacks by pests pathogens. Silicon (Si) accumulation occurs mainly grasses provides a physical barrier against antagonists. Biochemical pathways may also be involved Si-mediated resistance, although precise mode action this case is less clear. Most studies have focussed on Si-based effects single attackers. In review, we consider how resistance operates when simultaneously and/or sequentially attacked insect herbivores, fungal phytopathogens, parasitic nematodes hormones jasmonic acid (JA) salicylic (SA) are involved. Si mediate both intra- interspecific competition facilitation. been found impact plant-mediated interactions herbivores within same feeding guild across different guilds, with varying patterns JA SA. These results suggest that hormonal crosstalk play role effects, finding varied studies. While some reports support notion linked responses, others indicate supplementation reduces production. terms SA not defences. Improving our understanding could beneficial for sustainable agriculture under future climates.
