This review describes the role of silicon (Si) in plants. Methods of silicon determination and speciation are also reported. The mechanisms of Si uptake by plants, silicon fractions in the soil, and the participation of flora and fauna in the Si cycle in terrestrial ecosystems have been overviewed. Plants of Fabaceae (especially L. and L.) and Poaceae (particularly L.) families with different Si accumulation capabilities were taken into consideration to describe the role of Si in the alleviation of the negative effects of biotic and abiotic stresses. The article focuses on sample preparation, which includes extraction methods and analytical techniques. The methods of isolation and the characterization of the Si-based biologically active compounds from plants have been overviewed. The antimicrobial properties and cytotoxic effects of known bioactive compounds obtained from pea, alfalfa, and wheat were also described.
这篇综述描述了硅（Si）在植物中的作用。还报告了硅的测定和形态分析方法。概述了植物对硅的吸收机制、土壤中的硅素分数以及动植物在陆地生态系统硅循环中的参与情况。考虑了具有不同硅积累能力的豆科（特别是 L. 和 L.）和禾本科（特别是 L.）植物，以描述硅在减轻生物和非生物胁迫的负面影响方面的作用。本文重点介绍了样品制备，包括提取方法和分析技术。概述了从植物中分离和表征基于硅的生物活性化合物的方法。还描述了从豌豆、紫花苜蓿和小麦中获得的已知生物活性化合物的抗菌特性和细胞毒性作用。
