Summary
For 5 plant species it was investigated whether or not the uptake of Si proceeds metabolically. A gradual transition was found from metabolic absorption to metabolic exclusion, depending on the Si concentration in the culture solution. Absorption of Si increased in the order soybean, sunflower, wheat, sugarcane, rice.
