Abstract
Silicon (Si) is an abundant element in the earth's crust essential for plant growth and development. Recent studies silicon's potential for improving plant resilience to numerous biotic stressors, notably fungal diseases. This review seeks to offer a comprehensive understanding of the processes and advantages of silicon-induced systemic resistance in plants, with a special focus on its interactions with fungal pathogens. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of silicon on plant physiological and biochemical changes, such as enhanced lignification, strengthening of physical barriers, and activation of antioxidant systems. Additionally, we examine the influence of silicon on microbial populations within the rhizosphere and its effects on mycorrhizal associations. Lastly, we discuss the potential applications and challenges of integrating silicon-based strategies in sustainable plant disease management. This review provides valuable insights into using silicon as a novel approach to enhance plant systemic resistance against fungal pathogens, offering prospects for developing eco-friendly and efficient agricultural practices.

期刊介绍:
How can the scientific knowledge we possess now influence that future? That is, the FUTURE of Earth and life − of humankind. Can we make choices in the present to change our future? How can 21st century biological research ask proper scientific questions and find solid answers? Addressing these questions is the main goal of Biologia Futura (formerly Acta Biologica Hungarica).
In keeping with the name, the new mission is to focus on areas of biology where major advances are to be expected, areas of biology with strong inter-disciplinary connection and to provide new avenues for future research in biology. Biologia Futura aims to publish articles from all fields of biology.
